In October of 2001, a month after September 11, 2001, when God gave me the vision of Jesus pleading for the Father to hold the "Four Winds" (http://godheldthefourwinds.blogspot.com/) I was given another dream.
In this dream, I was outside Jerusalem at night and had to enter to see all the elements of this dream fulfilled in the future. I was entering a checkpoint to pass through a massive wall, very tall and foreboding, that stretched from horizon to horizon; so intimidating, it made me scared to enter.
The only way through was an 'S' curved queue made of a chain link fence. This allowed the guards to train their guns on anyone entering a long way away.
At the end of the queue was an electric turnstile that allowed you in and then locked you there for interrogation. In the turnstile, I looked to my right and saw a sign written in three languages (like the sign above the cross of Jesus) which read "Anyone who damages or passes this fence endangers their life".
While in the clutches of the cage I heard the still small voice quote;
“For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape.” [1 Thessalonians; 5:3]
In December, over a month after this wall dream that wouldn't leave me, I watched a news report about Israel beginning to build this wall. A sign similar to the one posted above was in the expose' along with images of the first 26-foot tall segments of concrete pillars being erected outside of Jerusalem, and the stockpiling of more segments. Above is exactly how I saw the sign in color and scope in my dream except it was at night under lights, and the wall was complete... no construction.
The official start of the first phase of the 400-mile 'Separation Barrier' wasn't until June of 2002, but I am absolutely positive that it was around the end of December 2001 that I saw the news article. The report was not supportive of the build. They said it was to “segregate Isaac and Ishmael” and condemned the action. I’m positive by their response and the time dedicated to the segment that the beginning of building of the wall was big news to them (I think it was from the BBC). But to me, although the information was insightful to current events, it was overwhelmingly a sign from God that the dream He had given me was true, and this made me search for everything I could find on the subject online (which back then was practically nothing). Then around June of 2002, the internet blew up from articles about this wall and I had already shared the dream with hundreds of people.
I later saw the picture of the electric turnstile for the border crossing in Jerusalem exactly like my dream... I gave glory to God for sharing the future with me. I am not worthy, but I praise Him.
Twelve years into the build (as of 2013) the wall is almost finished and over 400 miles long.
"Looking down through the ages to the close of time, Peter was inspired
to outline conditions that would exist in the world just prior to the
second coming of Christ. “There shall come in the last days' scoffers,”
he wrote, “walking after their own lusts, and saying, Where is the
promise of His coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things
continue as they were from the beginning of the creation.” But “when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them.”
1 Thessalonians 5:3. Not all, however, would be ensnared by the enemy’s
devices. As the end of all things earthly should approach, there would
be faithful ones able to discern the signs of the times. While a large
number of professing believers would deny their faith by their works,
there would be a remnant who would endure to the end. {AA 535.2}
Update:
TIME; Pope Makes Surprise Stop to Pray at Bethlehem Separation Wall;
The unscripted move cheers Palestinians already encouraged by the Pontiff's support of Palestine, before he moved on to Israel for a day
Pope Francis stopped his motorcade between scheduled events in Bethlehem on Sunday to pray before the massive concrete separation barrier that divides the Palestinian city from Israel, which erected the controversial wall a decade ago.
The surprise stop was the latest signal that the Pope backed what the Vatican had indicated in 2012 with its support for a U.N. vote to make Palestine a nonmember state: that it regards it as a sovereign state. In a speech earlier on Sunday the Pope called Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas a “man of peace” after paying him a courtesy visit, and referred to the Vatican’s good relations with the “state of Palestine.”
With all the things God has shown me about Pope Francis being the last pope, in conjunction with this dream of the separation wall being fulfilled, why will no one in the Seventh-Day Adventist Church take time to test these dreams and visions?
