Get Understanding

Hi Everyone,


I have been praying to understand two prophecies that were given by a man named C.J. Lovik.  These are available to watch on You Tube:  “The Beresheet Passover Prophecy” and the second - “Daniel’s 70 Weeks Prophecy.”  He has an additional teaching on “The Day Jesus Died.”   (part 1) and part 2 These prophecies are quite interesting, and compelling.  However, it is not enough to “think” that they are true, it is better to get an understanding of the truth from the Lord’s perspective.

The next several visions were given at a single prayer time, as I was asking the Lord about the validity of these prophecies.  I will share my visions, and what I believe the Lord is saying, however, each of us should get the Spirit’s input for ourselves.  I am sure that C.J. Lovik is a god-fearing man, and that he has sought the Lord for understanding, but we all know that anyone of us can misinterpret a vision, for we “know in part.” So please seek God for yourself.

The following are visions, eleven in all, that I received while praying for understanding:

My Hand Stirring the Water 

In this first vision I saw my hand over the clear water.  I stirred it up and then watched as it settled. This vision caused me to remember a scripture about a paralytic and the pool of Siloam.  

“When Jesus saw him lying there and learned that he had been in this condition for a long time, he asked him, ‘Do you want to get well?’”

“Sir,” the invalid replied, “I have no one to help me into the pool when the water is stirred.  While I am trying to get in, someone else goes down ahead of me.”

“Then Jesus said to him, ‘Get up!  Pick up your mat and walk.’   At once the man was cured:  he picked up his mat and walked.  The day on which this took place was a Sabbath.”  John 5:6-9

In this passage of scripture, Jesus revealed his identity through this miracle.  The man was expecting an angel to come and stir the water so that he could be healed, but rather than an angel, Jesus, the Son of God healed him directly.  

Angels are God’s messengers, as well as ministering spirits.  In this vision, I am stirring the water, in hopes of receiving a revelation about whether the prophecies of C J Lovik are true.  So I believe that what I need to know will be revealed in the following visions.

A Generator and Two Raccoons

In the next vision, I was attempting to fix a generator with a screwdriver.  There were two raccoons near by, who must have either messed with the generator so that it didn’t work, or were trying to keep me from fixing it.

I believe that the generator represents power, for that is the purpose of a generator, to create electrical power.  Raccoons are known to be mischief makers.  They can open doors, and get into places where they do not belong.  These two raccoons I believe represent demons.  They were trying to keep me distracted, so that I would not access the supernatural power that God makes available to his people.  I was trying to fix the generator, for I had a screwdriver, which I could use to remove the access panel, and see what might be the source of the problem.

I believe that the Lord is showing me that if I truly want to understand, that I must get rid of all distractions, so that I can hear clearly.  God is the source of all knowledge and power, and it is he we seek.  “Call to me and I will answer you and tell you great and unsearchable things you do not know.”  Jeremiah 33:3 

A Table Prepared

In the next vision, I see a woman standing next to a table that is set with a white tablecloth and blue plates. blue napkins, and blue glassware.  In the Bible, the color blue represents God, and heaven.  White represents purity and holiness.  I believe that the woman represents the church. So I believe that the Lord is showing us that we need to be ready. We need to be prepared for the Lord’s return.  When we are expecting visitors, we will set a table and a place setting for each guest.  The prophecies above concern the last days and the rapture of the church.  I have been asking if it is true that the tribulation and the rapture of the church will indeed happen soon.  This vision of the table shows us that we need to be ready for the Lord, for he is coming soon!  I am excited to think that what we have been waiting for, for so long, the catching up of the church to be with the Lord for all eternity will indeed happen soon!

The table is set, and those of us who are anxiously waiting for the Lord to come for his church will be ready. Come Lord Jesus! Maranatha!

A Restroom Partition

Next, I see that I am in a bathroom looking at a toilet partition from the side.  There is a person in the stall, for I can see her two feet.  This seems a bit strange as a vision, but I knew that the idea being conveyed was the idea of privacy.  

Of course we all want privacy while bathing and dressing, but we also want privacy when it comes to personal records, documents, photos, old letters and mementos. We expect others to respect our privacy in these matters. For example, our medical records cannot be released to anyone, except with our consent. However today, we are seeing that our data is not always safe.  From time to time we hear of hackers breaking into major data centers and collecting personal information from thousands of accounts. Some social media platforms sell our private information to large corporations and even foreign entities. The following news came from Fox News February 4, 2021 Tucker Carlson :

Just recently, we have seen that Bank of America willingly worked with the FBI to run searches on their customers. They searched their records to find those who visited Washington, DC, at the time of the attack on the Capitol building.  Their search included customers who made debit/credit card purchases in Washington DC between 1/5 and 1/6 and customers that booked a hotel, or Air B n B in Washington, DC, VA and MD. Their search included customers that made a purchase from a weapons or weapons-related merchant between 1/7 and 1/20, and customers who purchased airline tickets since 1/6. They found 211 people that fit at least one of these criteria. We should ask, “Why was Bank of America willing to act as an intelligence agency for the government when there were no warrants issued?  Why were they willing to search and share private citizens’ confidential accounts and transactions without authorization from their customers?  Do laws protecting citizen’s privacy no longer matter?”

I believe that the Lord is giving us a warning about our government, big business and big tech growing too powerful and not willing to respect the average citizen’s right to privacy. Not only is our privacy threatened, but also our right to have and share our opinions is also not respected.  Several outspoken conservative leaders have been harassed in their homes, cancelled by their peers and the news media, and de-platformed by big tech. Some supporters for former President Trump have lost business because of their affiliation with Trump. Some supporters have had their bank accounts cancelled. This is persecution. We need to support one another and our nation in prayer. We need God’ intervention.


A Dog Resting

In the next vision, I saw a dog resting on the floor.  Though resting, he was alert with his head up, aware of what was around him.  A dog represents faithfulness.  He is like a watchman on the wall, aware of his surroundings. He is waiting faithfully for his master’s return.  In the same way, God is asking us to be watchful, and to be waiting for him to come for his church.  “Be dressed ready for service and keep your lamps burning, like men waiting for their master to return from a wedding banquet, so that when he comes and knocks they can immediately open the door for him. It will be good for those servants whose master finds them watching when he comes.… Even if he comes in the second or third watch of the night and finds them alert, those servants will be blessed.”  Luke 12:38

Will we be ready? Will we be waiting in anticipation for his coming? I am not speaking of the second coming at the end of the Tribulation, when the Battle of Armageddon will be fought and the Millennial Reign of Christ begins. No, I believe that the Lord is speaking of the rapture at some point prior to this when the church will be taken up to heaven.  “For the Lord himself  will come down from heaven, with a loud  command, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet call of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first.  After that, we who are still alive and are left will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air.  And so we will be with the Lord forever.”   1 Thessalonians 4:16-17 

This vision of the dog waiting is very similar to the vision of the woman standing next to a table prepared for the Lord’s coming. When the Lord wants to emphasize something He will say it more than once. So let’s understand his message: “Get Ready! I am coming soon!” And we say, “Yes Lord!”

A Red Truck

Next, I saw a red box truck make a left hand turn from a two lane paved road, onto an entrance ramp, that lead to an interstate highway.  There  was a gas station on the far corner of the intersection.  My view was from behind the truck.  The truck was painted red, which from a Biblical perspective can represent blood, bloodshed, or sin.  However, in this case I believe that the color red stands for sin. The red truck was turning to the left, which for me, represents a negative change in direction, moving towards evil, hell, or away from God.  The truck itself represents a wayward person or a wayward group of people.

The truck leaves a road that is straight and narrow and turns onto a wide road. The Lord spoke of two roads in his teachings:  “Enter through the narrow gate.  For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it.  But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it.”  Matthew 7:13-14

The red truck had been traveling on the narrow road, but made a decision to leave it for the interstate. Like the truck, we all have free will and can change directions at any time. We can become enticed by the things in the world, and find ourselves going in an entirely different direction, away from God. “The Spirit clearly says that in later times some will abandon the faith and follow deceiving spirits and things taught by demons. Such teachings come through hypocritical liars; whose consciences have been seared as with a hot iron.” 1 Timothy 4:1-2

In the next passage is the word “rebellion,” which is the Greek word “apostasia,” which means “standing away from.” Apostasy comes from this word which we use to describe a withdrawal, a defection, a falling away, or a departure from the faith.

“Don’t let anyone deceive you in any way, for that day will not come until the rebellion (apostasy) occurs and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the man doomed to destruction. He will oppose and will exalt himself over everything that is called God or is worshiped, so that he sets himself up in God’s temple, proclaiming himself to be God.” 2 Thessalonians 2:3-4

I believe that the Lord is showing us with the red truck, that in the last days there will be many people who will turn away from the faith. Here is another passage that describes a great falling away, in the last days: “At that time many will turn away from the faith and will betray and hate each other, and many false prophets will appear and deceive many people.” Matthew 24:11

Apostasy in America has been underway for some time. “At that time many will turn away from the faith…” Churches have been closing their doors even before the onset of the pandemic. People are leaving the faith to pursue other personal interests.

We are also seeing the fulfillment of the second part of that phrase: “…and will betray and hate each other…” How many people have betrayed President Trump and their country? How many people have broken off relations with relatives and friends because they disagree on politics? How many people are afraid to share their beliefs with others for fear of being verbally attacked or altogether cancelled?

Emotions run high today because of a loss of jobs, fear of the virus, parents overwhelmed by the demands on their time to home school their children and work to keep food on the table. Suicide is many more times normal because of depression due to lock-downs and isolation. Wicked people in our nation are trying to divide our country and bring it to ruin. They promote hatred of Trump and his supporters non-stop, to fire-up their base. They have promoted fear with the pandemic in order to gain more control and more power for themselves. Their ultimate goal is to be part of a one world system — a world without borders or national identities, a world where they can control what is said and what is believed. They want to dictate to others where, and how each will work and live and how much they will earn and keep. For them it is their utopia, for us it is just the beginning of hell on earth - the Tribulation.

in the last part of the phrase, “…and many false prophets will appear and deceive many people,” we see just the beginning of this with the many prophets appearing on television, saying and predicting all kinds of things. What is true? What have they put forth as truth, but has not been so? Are they prophesying out of their own imaginations? We must test the spirits. We must seek God for understanding, discernment and wisdom.

We can all make mistakes—no one is perfect. But it can be a serious thing:

“This is what the Lord Almighty says: ‘Do not listen to what the prophets are prophesying to you; they fill you with false hopes. They speak visions from their own minds, not from the mouth of the Lord…..I did not send these prophets, yet they have run with their message; I did not speak to them, yet they have prophesied. But if they had stood in my council, they would have proclaimed my words to my people and would have turned them from their evil ways and from their evil deeds.” Jeremiah 23:16, 21-22

We also have false teachings in our churches. Many times we see pastors choosing popular self-help topics to attract congregants to fill their pews, rather than the Lord’s messages which are direct, and challenging. One church in our town posts a sign which reads: “We are a light-hearted church with a light-hearted message.” This church wants people to know that they will not be confronted about their sin, nor will they hear teaching on eternal judgment and hell.

“For the time will come when men will not tolerate sound doctrine. Instead to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear.” 2 Timothy 4:3

But the Lord speaks clearly. “Behold, I am coming soon! My reward is with me, and I will give to everyone according to what he has done. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End. Blessed are those who wash their robes, that they may have the right to the tree of life and may go through the gates into the city. Outside are the dogs, those who practice magic arts, the sexually immoral, the murderers, the idolaters and everyone who loves and practices falsehood. I, Jesus, have sent my angel to give you this testimony for the churches. I am the Root and the Offspring of David, and the bright Morning Star.” Revelation 22:12-16

So, If we want to receive greater understanding and revelation from the Lord, then we have to know him and follow him.  We have to avoid the wide road, which is well traveled and preferred by most people and instead take the road that leads to everlasting life, with him.

“Do you not know that friendship with the world is enmity with God?  Therefore whoever wishes to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God.”  James 4:4

Also, “Do not love the world or the things in the world.  If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him.”  1 John 2:15  

We cannot travel the road that the world chooses and have intimacy with God. No, we must walk with the Lord on the narrow road, where we can hear his voice and receive his guidance.

Pax Romana

Next, I heard the words “Pax Romana,” which means “Roman Peace.”  It was a period of time that lasted about 200 years, beginning with Caesar Augustus in 27 AD and Marcus Aurelius in 180 AD. 

God is good!  As I was attempting to find out what the significance of this time period was, I read both Wikipedia and Encyclopedia Britannica’s articles on the topic.  I came to understand that this time of relative peace and stability came as a result of several things:  Military power, a unified legal system, a well established infrastructure, and most importantly something called “acculturation.”  The Romans forced their culture upon all the peoples in the various regions that they conquered. 

“The best way to mitigate resistance by the colonized was to eradicate as far as possible all traces of their former way of life.”  Britannica’s article cites modern examples:  “During the 20th century, cultural imperialism was no longer so closely linked with military intervention but rather with the exertion of economic and political influence by some powerful countries over less powerful countries.  Many observers viewed the Soviet Union’s forceful attempts to impose communism on other countries as a form of cultural imperialism.”

Here in America, we see that the left has been busy behind the scenes carefully implementing their strategies over the past few decades to change our American culture.  Our educators at all levels have been teaching critical race theory, which has caused such a great divide in our nation. They have taught and continue to teach a distorted view of the family. And American history is taught in such a manner as to create shame for our national heritage, rather than promote patriotism and love of country. No wonder people are suspicious and hateful, for they have been taught to be disrespectful and shallow, without morality and without God.

We have seen the left using the pandemic as an opportunity to close churches, deeming them to be non-essential.  Even the Supreme Court ruled in favor of the CA governor’s mandate to forbid singing and chanting in church services. The Supreme Court did not rule to support the Constitution as it was written, which clearly states:  “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof…”  Shouldn’t the free exercise thereof include singing and chanting as expressions of worship and adoration unto God? 

This is an infringement on our rights to practice our faith unhindered.

An executive order just signed provides funding (from our tax dollars) for abortion worldwide.  This is in direct opposition to the moral values that we hold as Christians.  These executive orders are strategic by design. The plan is to create a culture of people who lack restraint and morality. The left wants to create a population which has no god, and who depends upon the government to tell them what is right and what is wrong.

There have been more than forty executive orders which have caused great harm. This same president has signed orders for us to accept the promotion of the transgender agenda in the military and in public education.  Again this is an affront to our religious freedom and an attack on our faith and values.  This is a direct attempt to normalize sinful sexual behavior.

The globalist agenda is to completely change the traditional ideas of faith, family, morality  and traditional conservative values. This is persecution—persecution of the church, and political conservatives.  Their focus is to eliminate from power or influence, anyone who believes that our rights are given by God and that all men are accountable to him.   They want to cancel and remove from public forums, conservative ideals: personal freedom, limited government, government by consent of the governed, and Biblical morality.

A Camper

In the next vision, I saw a small trailer, a fiberglass camper whose top half was white and whose lower half was red.  This vision I believe represents division.  White stands for purity and holiness; red stands for sin.  A trailer is something that goes where you go.  It is used to explore the outdoors, and to travel the country.  I believe that the Lord is showing us the division that we see, covers the entire nation.  We generally see this as a left versus right issue.  A favorite political news commentator who is Christian, Dr. Steven Turley, believes the divide is between the leaders in government or ruling class, (globalist elites) and the average citizen.  His view describes the government leaders as ruling for their personal benefit and having no genuine concern for the well-being or the interests of those who elect them.  

Behind this division is a spiritual divide: good against evil; freedom against bondage; truth against falsehood, and believers against non-believers.

Jesus said, “Whoever is not with me is against me and whoever does not gather with me scatters.” Matthew 12:30

The trailer in the vision is divided into two halves, the top half is white and the lower half is red. It represents our nation. The white represent the righteous, those who hold to the teachings of Christ and the red represents all that is evil: those who love and promote sexual immorality, those who want abortion, and those who cause and promote division, strife, chaos and anarchy. 

But God wants us all to be reconciled unto him, therefore we pray for God to send us a spiritual revival.  It is only the Lord who can reconcile people to himself.  “No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws him. And I will raise him up on the last day.” John 6:44

So we pray and share the gospel and He changes their hearts! Hallelujah!

An American Flag

In this next vision, I saw the American flag flying in the dark.  The flag was just slightly illuminated, so that I could make out a bit of the surroundings.  The flag was flying in a semi enclosed area at ground level, just underneath the sections of seating in a large stadium. Around the flag were a number of folding chairs in semi-circular rows. The seats had been used sometime before, for the chairs were no longer in neat rows.   

The flag represents our country.  The chairs indicate that there had been a meeting sometime earlier. In the vision everything is dark, no one is around, only the flag is faintly lit. I believe that this vision shows that there will be darkness in our land, and that those who are true patriots and those who belong to the Lord, will find themselves meeting in secret. Persecution is only just beginning.

I find it amazing that I was given this vision on January 30, and just yesterday I heard on the news, that the owner of the Mavericks had decided that they would no longer be singing the national anthem before their home games. This of course falls in line with the globalist agenda which is to tear down any symbols of national pride and identity. Just as the Romans subjugated the people they conquered making every attempt to eradicate their traditions and culture, and instill in them the Hellenistic views, the left wants to remove the flag, and anything that promotes national pride and unity among the people.

God’s timing is great, here is another example:  It was proposed a few days ago, by some conservatives in Congress that they should begin each day in session, with an opening ceremony which would include the pledge of allegiance to the flag.  I believe that the conservatives were making an attempt to re-instill a love of God and country, as each time they would be declaring with their own mouths, that we are “one nation under God.” and that we are for “liberty and justice for all.”  These are truly life giving words that would instill patriotic emotions and a sense of a unified purpose for our country. 

But, as you might expect, the left objected.  They do not support the idea of liberty and justice for all, because they believe that they are above the law.  They do not support the idea that they are accountable to God, for they do not follow God’s laws.  And they are not concerned with the idea of “one nation,” for they are committed to a globalist point of view.

We are entering into a new season.  American life under the new administration will be quite different from the decades before.  I believe that the days will grow dark, and persecution, the loss of freedoms and distrust in government will increase.  I believe that the Tribulation is just around the corner.

A Sign on a Brick Building

This next vision is similar to the last in that it is shown in the dark.  I see a sign on a brick three story building.  The sign reads: “American Ophthalmology”  The signage is made of raised letters in a silver finish, mounted directly to the brick wall.  There is a single spot light illuminating the sign.  Ophthalmology is of course the study of eyes and vision.  I believe that this portion of the vision has to do with spiritual insight as well as spiritual darkness.

The sign, “American Ophthalmology,” I believe refers to what is going on in America.  Are we truly aware of what is taking place in our nation?   What decisions are being made behind closed doors in America’s corporations and in our government?  What decisions are being made to change our culture to cause it to conform to the will of those in power?  How are leaders changing what is being taught in schools? 

We are always praying that “Whatever is hidden in darkness be brought to the light.”  It is corruption, and sin in all its forms that people want to conceal.  With so much corruption in government, and leaders working together to conceal the facts, we need to seek God all the  more, and to ask him to reveal and expose the wickedness.  We as Christians must seek God to get insight.  We do not want to be kept in the dark, as this vision seems to show.  The building is in the dark, and only the signage on the outside of the building is lit.  It seems that the Lord is making his point that we who should be able to see, are not yet seeing all that there is to see.

I believe that the Lord keeps some things hidden, and reveals them to those who have a desire to know and understand.  In the book of Revelation, Jesus said at the completion of his messages to each of the seven churches: “He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.”  Revelation 2:7, 11, 17, 29 and 3:6, 13, 22

When Jesus’ disciples asked him why he spoke to the people in parables, he replied: “This is why I speak to them in parables:  ‘Though seeing, they do not see; though hearing, they do not hear or understand.  In them is fulfilled the prophecy of Isaiah:  ‘You will be ever hearing but never understanding; you will be ever seeing but never perceiving.  For this people’s heart has become calloused; they hardly hear with their ears, and they have closed their eyes.  Otherwise they might see with their eyes, hear with their ears, understand with their hearts and turn, and I would heal them.”  Matthew 13:13-15  

So the Lord is saying with this vision that if we want to know and understand, we must seek him, for he will open our eyes, our ears and our hearts.  Just as Jesus shared certain information with his disciples, because they had a heart to seek the truth, and a desire to know more, more was given.  And to those who heard his parables, some would receive the revelation and others would not.

The other point that needs to be  made is this:  not every “seer” is genuine.  It is very likely that in these last days that there will be false prophets, for the Lord and several of his disciples wrote to warn us of false teachers and false prophets.  “I know that after I leave, savage wolves will come in among you and will not spare the flock. Even from your own number men will arise and distort the truth in order to draw away disciples after them.  So be on your guard!  Remember that for three years I never stopped warning each of you night and day with tears.”  Acts 20:29-31 

Also: “But there were also false prophets among the people, just as there will be false teachers among you.  They will secretly introduce destructive heresies, even denying the sovereign Lord who bought them—bringing swift destruction on themselves.  Many will follow their shameful ways and will bring the way of truth into disrepute.  In their greed these teachers will exploit you with stories they have made up.”  2 Peter 2:1-2

We need the gift of discernment and wisdom and the revelation of the Holy Spirit for we have been warned.  The Bible also tells us to “test the spirits,” to see if they are from God.  It is the very thing which I have been doing at the present in regards to the prophecies from C J Lovik.

Years ago, the Lord told me: “Look for my signature.”  A message from God will always line up with the word of God.  Never will a message contradict scripture, for God’s word is truth.  

A Lion’s Head and a Clipboard

The Last vision in this series is of a man holding a lion’s head in his right hand.  In his left hand he holds a clipboard.  I had another vision not long ago of a lion’s head held in the palm of a hand:  “Present Day Judgment or End Time Events”  In this post, the lion’s head was resting in an open palm which I believe was God’s.  The head represented the sovereignty of our nation.  The head was cut off showing that our nation’s sovereignty would end. In this vision it is a man that hold’s the decapitated head in his left hand. 

The man represents those in America that seek to increase their own power by subduing and destroying our nation. In the man’s right hand is a clipboard which represents their plans, their agenda, their programs and ideas that will bring about the destruction of the sovereignty of America as an independent nation.  They are globalists and this is their purpose, to incorporate America into a global system of regions rather than sovereign nations.

To rule a mighty nation like America is no small thing, but these globalists fantasize about ruling the world.  These are power hungry people, willing to sell out their nation for money and more power.  We patriots who love our God and our nation, who cherish America’s freedoms, are hindrances to their schemes.  To them, the Constitution is only a piece of paper.  They use it for their benefit when it supports their purpose, but ignore it when it becomes a hindrance to their plans.

In Conclusion

The Lord said to me several weeks ago, “Finish strong.”  So whether the Tribulation is just around the corner or whether it is several years from now, we need to finish strong. The Tribulation may begin this year as the C J Lovik prophecies suggest—or perhaps not.

In the Bible, Jesus tells us regarding the rapture: “But about that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven nor the Son, but only the Father.” Matthew 24:37

So let us watch with eagerness, knowing that some day we will hear the trumpet call of God, and we “will be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air. And so we will be with the Lord forever.” 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17

I hope you will take these visions seriously, and make every effort to seek the Lord for wisdom, understanding and revelation. He wants us to draw close to him, to know his heart. And with regards to C J Lovik’s prophecies, it is best to take it to the Lord for yourself. And “Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a worker who does not need to be ashamed and who correctly handles the word of truth.” 2 Timothy 2:15

Please share this with friends and those who will appreciate these visions. I hope you are blessed in your coming and going! The Lord’s peace be with you!
