Conspiracy & Assassination Among Other Sins
Hi Everyone,
This is the last day of 2024, and I have several visions to share with you today that seem somewhat ominous. I am continuing to pray for greater understanding of what I believe the Lord is showing us.
The Visions
The Conspiracy
In the first vision I saw two men on top of a rocky peak well dressed in business suits, speaking to one another. The view pans out to show in the foreground a close up of an archer with a drawn bow and arrow. I believe that the archer is either a woman or a fine featured young man for the face is partially hidden by the hand that holds the arrow tightly to the string of the bow. The intent is to shoot.
The view then shifts to a closer view of the arrow head itself. It is the color “gunmetal grey” which is a dark grey with a polished finish. The arrow head is shaped like a three sided pyramid with deep concave surfaces. The edges and the point are extremely thin and sharp.
The target itself is unseen. But all around are even higher rocky mountains. The peak that the two men and the archer are standing on is separated from the surrounding mountains by a deep crevasse. The archer’s aim is towards the mountain across the crevasse.
I believe that the two men represent elites for they are well dressed. The peak upon which they stand shows that they are at a pinnacle of achievement and influence in the world. The two men are conspiring to work together to achieve more power. The archer is their means of taking on the obstacle that blocks the way. The archer is aiming in the direction of a higher mountain. It is in their sights to attain the greater height. I believe that this vision represents the scheme of arrogant men to “conquer the world.”
The devil is the great schemer behind the scenes who entices men with power and notions of grandeur. He works on the weakness of ego and the desire to be remembered in history as the greatest there ever was. The devil knows the desire for adoration, for he desires to be admired for his beauty, his power, and his achievements. He knows men’s drive to achieve, to break world records, to control the greatest empire, to conquer men’s hearts, and to do what no one else has ever done before.
The devil uses the powerful desire for adoration to tempt others to sin. Isaiah reveals the devil’s inmost thoughts and schemes as he prophecies against “the king of Babylon.”
How you have fallen from heaven, O day star, son of the dawn! You have been cut down to the ground, O destroyer of nations. You said in your heart: “I will ascend to the heavens; I will raise my throne above the stars of God. I will sit on the mount of assembly, in the far reaches of the north. I will ascend above the tops of the clouds; I will make myself like the Most High.” Isaiah 14:12-14
What thoughts of grandeur! The devil wants to be worshipped like God Almighty is worshipped and glorified. No wonder God hates rebellion. He hates the rebelliousness that is in us. We think that we call the shots, that we are the captains of our own ships and kings of our own kingdoms! Shame on us!
The devil’s dark desire is to overtake people’s hearts to renounce God and worship the things of this world, and to make themselves their own idol. He even tried to tempt Jesus by offering him “the kingdoms of this world.”
Again, the devil took Him to a very high mountain and showed Him all the kingdoms of the world and their glory. “All this I will give You,” he said, “if You will fall down and worship me.”
“Away from Me, Satan!” Jesus told him. “For it is written: ‘Worship the Lord your God and serve Him only.’”
Then the devil left Him, and angels came and ministered to Him. Matthew 4:8-10
We need to surrender our wills to the Lord, for if we follow our own passions and lusts, we will alienate God and become his enemy.
You adulterous people, don’t you know that friendship with the world means enmity against God? Therefore, anyone who chooses to be a friend of the world becomes an enemy of God. James 4:4
Asleep or Dead?
In this next vision I saw a man leaning back, slumped in his chair behind his desk. I thought to myself, “Is he asleep or is he dead?” He was a black man who wore a long sleeved blue shirt. When I thought of these two visions together, I thought is this the result of the arrow that was shot. Does this vision represent an assassination?
We can’t easily forget what has happen to President Trump in the recent past. He has survived, by the grace of God, two assassination attempts. These two visions together paint a picture of conspiracy and assassination. By these recent assassination attempts, we are made aware in the physical realm of what the devil has been doing in the spiritual realm. The devil works in the hearts of wicked men to do his bidding: to kill, to steal, and to destroy. (John 10:10)
“No temptation has seized you except what is common to man. And God is faithful; He will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, He will also provide an escape, so that you can stand up under it. Therefore, my beloved, flee from idolatry.” 1 Corinthians 10:13-14
It is the love of money, and the love of the world that causes people to sin and become idolaters.
Those who want to be rich, however, fall into temptation and become ensnared by many foolish and harmful desires that plunge them into ruin and destruction. For the love of money is the root of all kinds of evil. By craving it, some have wandered away from the faith and pierced themselves with many sorrows. 1 Timothy 6:9-10
Everyone, even the faithful can be led astray by our desires, our egos and our sinful nature.
You desire but do not have, so you kill. You covet but you cannot get what you want, so you quarrel and fight. You do not have because you do not ask God. When you ask, you do not receive, because you ask with wrong motives, that you may spend what you get on your pleasures. James 4:2-3
The Lord is not about to answer selfish prayers. We need to align ourselves and our prayers with God’s will, and when we do, we will see the hand of God move powerfully. If we are narrow minded, faithless and self-absorbed, concerned with our own needs, wants and desires, we will be alone. God will not indulge our sinful or selfish desires..
In the vision was the man asleep or dead? In the book of Revelation, the Lord finds that from a spiritual standpoint they are virtually the same.
“To the angel of the church in Sardis write:
These are the words of the One who holds the seven spirits of God and the seven stars.
I know your deeds; you have a reputation for being alive, yet you are dead. Wake up and strengthen what remains, which is about to die; for I have found your deeds incomplete in the sight of My God. Remember, then, what you have received and heard. Keep it and repent. If you do not wake up, I will come like a thief, and you will not know the hour when I will come upon you. Revelation 3:1-3
The man in the vision wore a blue shirt. Blue in the Bible means God, godliness, and heaven, so the man represents godliness but because he is spiritually asleep or dead, he is not being led by the spirit of God, but has allowed his flesh to lead him.
For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, arrogant, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, unloving, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, without love of good, traitorous, reckless, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having a form of godliness but denying its power. Turn away from such as these!
They are the kind who worm their way into households and captivate vulnerable women who are weighed down with sins and led astray by various passions, who are always learning but never able to come to a knowledge of the truth. 2 Timothy 3:1-7
I have two friends who have experienced much harm from “preachers” who claimed to be god fearing men, but who were actually wolves in sheep’s clothing. Not every “godly” man belongs to God. Some actually belong to the devil! One friend lost her entire savings to a pastor who served only himself, and the other friend married a man who practiced deceit, preached for personal gain, and took advantage of women.
The first friend has forgiven the pastor and God has greatly blessed her for doing so. The other has not forgiven, and is contemplating divorce. We must seek God in all matters. We need to pray for wisdom and discernment. Jesus has said many important things but here are three that apply:
“Forgive them Father for they know not what they do.” Luke 23:34
For if you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if you do not forgive men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive yours. Matthew 6:14-15
“It was said, ‘Whoever sends his wife away, let him give her a certificate of divorce’; but I say to you that everyone who divorces his wife, except for the reason of unfaithfulness, makes her commit adultery; and whoever marries a divorced woman commits adultery.” Matthew 5:32
We have to do things God’s way, or else we sin, and separate ourselves from him. We need not look to others for their opinions, and their advice. We need to seek God and his Word, which never fails.
For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, to give you a future and a hope. Then you will call upon Me and come and pray to Me, and I will listen to you. You will seek Me and find Me when you search for Me with all your heart. Jeremiah 29:11-13
The Conference Room Conflict
This third vision followed close behind the two above. I saw a conference table with some people standing around it and some seated. One man on the left and towards the back of the table held one end of an exercise tube with handles. The other end was held by the man seated at the head of the table. The tube was stretched beyond what would normally be possible. I was concerned that if the man on my left let go of the tube it would strike the man holding the other end.
Years ago, I taught an exercise class and was talking with one of the women. Her child came up and handed her the end of an exercise tube, then stretched it out, holding the other end by the handle. I saw the little boy and told him, “Don’t let go, your mom could get hurt.” The boy let go anyway, and the mother was struck in the ribs, receiving a welt from the impact.
The two men holding the tube obviously had made an agreement between themselves, otherwise they would not be in such a predicament. The tube represented the extreme tension between them, for they were literally opposed to each other. At any moment one could let the other have it. The blow inflicted would not kill, but it would certainly hurt.
The conference table represents the gathering of people together to make decisions, and conduct business. But it can also be a place of disagreement, of power plays to unseat someone, or undermine authority.
In the vision I was concerned that the man seated on the left, was trying to harm, unseat or challenge the man seated at the head of the table. The location or direction “left” usually represents something wrong or evil. So the man holding the tube to my left, had evil intentions.
It caused me to think of President Trump selecting his cabinet. I am concerned that there may be someone who will have such opposing views that he will become a threat to President Trump and his administration.
Jesus was betrayed by one of his personally selected twelve disciples. But we know that the Lord is omniscient and knew who would betray him to the wicked authorities so as to fulfill scripture.
Even my close friend in whom I trusted, who ate my bread, has lifted his heel against me. Psalm 41:9
Jesus answered them, “Have I not chosen you, the Twelve? Yet one of you is a devil!” He was speaking about Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot. For although Judas was one of the Twelve, he was later to betray Jesus. John 6:70-71
We as the church are to pray for our leaders, and those in authority. It is important to pray for President Trump since he has been abused politically by his enemies with lawsuits, slander, and every wicked scheme.
Let Us Pray
Lord, we ask that your divine protection would continually remain on President Trump and his staff. We pray that you will keep him and his family, his advisors and staff from physical and spiritual harm. We pray that those who support him in government, in the judicial system, in every department and governmental agency and those who are patriotic supporters, will be protected from abuse from the media, and those who care nothing for the well-being of the nation or its people.
We pray that whatever is hidden in darkness will be exposed, and that no weapon formed against President Trump will prosper. We pray that he is an instrument in the Lord’s hands to do good for our people and to be fair and just towards other nations. We pray for peace and diplomacy over war and contention. We pray that you Lord give him favor with all people and place him under the shelter of your wing. We pray that both the physical and spiritual enemies of our nation will be rendered harmless and every evil plan thwarted, in the mighty name of Jesus! And we all said: Amen!
A Hospital Bed
In the next vision I saw someone lying on his side in a hospital bed. The person lay motionless. I could not see his face. The bed was against a wall across from a waiting area and near the elevators. There came someone from behind me, who stood next to me, and took hold of my arm. There were no words exchanged.
Considering this is the fourth vision given only minutes apart, I believed it must correlate with the others.
In the first vision there is a conspiracy and a deadly weapon, possibly intended for assassination. In the second there is death, and in the third there is conflict in a conference room. Now in this fourth vision there is man lying a hospital bed. The theme so far is conflict conspiracy and death.
In the vision there was no one around; no one waiting in the waiting area. The patient was alone. The woman who came from behind me took my arm as if to show empathy, compassion, or agreement with me. However, I did not know who the patient was.
There were no IVs, or monitors attached to the man. There was only a bed and a man in a dressing gown. He did not have a blanket to cover himself. Was he sleeping or unconscious? Why was no one attending him? The scene did not take place in a busy emergency room where you might expect to see beds in the hall. He seemed to be abandoned.
This vision reminded me of the story of the good Samaritan, who was the only one willing to help a man that was robbed, beaten and left to die. Who were those who walked past the man and ignored him? It was a priest and a Levite that would not stop to help. Even though these were the very people that one would have expected to stop and help, they did not. There was no compassion, not even a second thought. They were just simply too busy with what they thought was more important. This was Jesus’ parable. He is grieved when we can’t find it in our hearts to help someone in distress.
If we forgive, the Lord forgives us. If we show compassion towards someone else, he shows compassion towards us. Jesus teaches reciprocity in his parable about sheep and goats.
When the Son of Man comes in His glory, and all the angels with Him, He will sit on His glorious throne. All the nations will be gathered before Him, and He will separate the people one from another, as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats. He will place the sheep on His right and the goats on His left.
Then the King will say to those on His right, ‘Come, you who are blessed by My Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world. For I was hungry and you gave Me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave Me something to drink, I was a stranger and you took Me in, I was naked and you clothed Me, I was sick and you looked after Me, I was in prison and you visited Me.’
Then the righteous will answer Him, ‘Lord, when did we see You hungry and feed You, or thirsty and give You something to drink? When did we see You a stranger and take You in, or naked and clothe You? When did we see You sick or in prison and visit You?’
And the King will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of Mine, you did for Me.’
Then He will say to those on His left, ‘Depart from Me, you who are cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels. For I was hungry and you gave Me nothing to eat, I was thirsty and you gave Me nothing to drink, I was a stranger and you did not take Me in, I was naked and you did not clothe Me, I was sick and in prison and you did not visit Me.’
And they too will reply, ‘Lord, when did we see You hungry or thirsty or a stranger or naked or sick or in prison, and did not minister to You?’
Then the King will answer, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did not do for one of the least of these, you did not do for Me.’
And they will go away into eternal punishment, but the righteous into eternal life.” Matthew 25:31-46
The Lord wants us to be his hands and feet on this earth. He wants us to feed the hungry, look after the sick, take care of the poor, visit those in nursing homes and in prisons. He wants us to share the good news of the gospel and encourage those who need to be strengthened in their faith. We are to be salt and light. We cannot be like the Levite or the priest who said, “It’s not my job. I am too busy.”
The last sentence said it all: “And they will go away into eternal punishment, but the righteous into eternal life.”
We will all be judged for what we have said, thought or done, and for what we have failed to do. Our God and creator has full authority over us, but has given us free will to choose to either serve him, serve the devil, or serve ourselves. Our decision determines whether we receive an eternal reward or an eternal punishment.
This is why the Word of God declares:
The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, and knowledge of the Holy One is understanding. Proverbs 9:10
Each of these visions warns us of the sin that flourishes around us. If we indulge our flesh and our sinful nature with all its passions and desires, we become a slave to that sin. The unbeliever does not have the inner witness of the Holy Spirit and so he can easily give into his flesh and live to please himself. The unbeliever takes his cues from the world, accepts its ideologies, traditions and values. He lives without the Spirit, so he dies in his sin.
But as believers, we are given the Holy Spirit to indwell us. We have power through the Holy Spirit to say no to our flesh and live for God. The Spirit leads us into all truth, and gives us the desire to please God. That is why it is so important for us to share the gospel and to disciple people in the faith. When they have the inner witness of the Holy Spirit in themselves, they become changed and are able to live to please God. We want all to come to the knowledge of God and have the inner peace to know that all is right between ourselves and our Father in Heaven. There is nothing more wonderful, than to have the peace and joy that comes from fellowship with him.
These are the words of a hymn speaking of the sweet relationship that is possible to have with the Lord: “In the Garden”
“And He walks with me and He talks with me, and tells me I am his own. And the joy we share as we tarry there, none other has ever known.”
So let us continue to pray for our leaders in government, and in our churches. Let us pray for God’s perfect will for all people everywhere. Let us share our precious faith and the promise of eternal life with all those we meet. And let us not forget to show mercy and love to those who suffer or who just need a friend.
God bless you and may He keep you in this new year!
