Signs In Nature

I had a dream in which I was in a lovely forest with a small number of people. Suddenly, we noticed that a large herd of animals had gathered in an opening close by, and that there were many monkeys in trees surrounding us. A large number of these monkeys were hanging from the trees, and several of them were riding the backs of lions. These and other animals began increasing in number and activity, and we knew that we had to run to our nearby house for safety.

As I pondered this, as well as another recent dream in which I was surrounded by sharks in a large body of water, I heard the Lord say the word "amass". The meaning of this word is to "gather or assemble into a large number". The Lord went on to reveal that the enemy is now gathering his people in a way that we haven't seen before. Satan is beginning to reveal his strategy, as evidenced by the recent deaths of birds, who dwell in the second heaven (which is Satan's throne), as well as fish in the waters below the earth.

We know that the Lord is our refuge and sure place of safety. In recent months (and even years), He has been drawing His people out of the world and the world system. He is also gathering His people together in the places that He desires, and we are being assembled together with those who have the same heart, mind, and purpose in His Spirit. This will increasingly be the only true place of safety in the days ahead. It will also be a time of the church's greatest triumph!

Jude 1:10 - "But these men revile the things which they do not understand; and the things which they know by instinct, like unreasoning animals, by these things they are destroyed."

Psalm 2:1-12 - "Why are the nations in an uproar, and the peoples devising a vain thing? The kings of the earth take their stand, and the rulers take counsel together against the Lord and against His Anointed..... He who sits in the heavens laughs. The Lord scoffs at them.... Now therefore, O kings, show discernment; take warning O judges of the earth.... Do homage to the Son, lest He become angry, and you perish in the way. For His wrath may soon be kindled. How blessed are all who take refuge in Him!"

"monkey" - deceit; dishonesty; using flattery to gain an advantage; foolishness
"lion" - intimidation
"shark" - judgmental spirit; people you know attack unexpctedly; formidable enemy who is jealously working against you
