“I call upon You, O God, for You will answer me; give ear to me and hear my prayer. Show the wonder of Your great love, You who save by Your right hand those who take refuge in You from their foes. Keep me as the apple of Your eye; hide me in the shadow of Your wings from the wicked who assail me, from my mortal enemies who surround me. But my eyes are fixed on You, O Sovereign LORD; in You I take refuge – do not give me over to death. Keep me from the snares they have laid for me, from the traps set by evildoers. Let the wicked fall into their own nets, while I pass by in safety. Rescue me from my enemies, O LORD, for I hide myself in you.” (Psalm 17: 6-9; 141: 8-10; 143:9)

Early Monday, September 23, 2008 God gave me a dream and I have been praying and thinking about it these past few days. I write now in retrospect. I find it interesting that the dream occurred in the early hours of the 23rd which followed the beginning of the Fall Equinox (09-22-08 – 11: 44: 18 EDT) heralding autumn in the Northern Hemisphere. It is when the sun appears to cross the celestial equator, from North to South and it is said that night and day are of approximately the same length.

September, 2008 has been packed with many “stormy days”: September 1st Hurricane Gustav killed 26 in Sothern USA: September 5th tropical storm Hannah kills and injures hundreds in Haiti: September 7th and 8th Hurricane Ike hits Haiti and Cuba and 70 + die, in Turks and Caicos 80% lose their homes: September 12th a metro link train collides with a freight train and 25 die in California: September 13th and 14th Hurricane Ike hits Texas and there is great loss of people and homes: September 14th -16th Midwest USA still feels the effects of Ike with high winds causing death, flooding and 2 million are left without power. Just yesterday (May 20, 2013) a tornado hit in Oklahoma and over 50 lost their lives…suddenly! There are major issues presently occurring and developing in the political and economic arenas of many of the nations in the world. Basically we are seeing Matthew 24: 1-24 unfolding before our very eyes! As I am writing, Revelation Chapter 18 also comes to mind, particularly verses 8-20. ” …in one day her plagues will overtake her …In one hour your doom has come …In one hour she has been brought to ruin… ”

My dream began in a day of “usual activity” (Matthew 24: 36-44). I remember saying goodbye to my sons as they left for school and I noted in the background that people were getting into their cars heading for work. Then, as dreams go, I found myself standing on a water-front dock and there were many workers around who were busy loading and unloading several moored cargo ships. I walked over to the edge of the pier and looked over the wide expanse of the ocean water and then quickly turned away, shivering as I headed towards home. For some reason, I looked upward into the sky and I saw a huge, hollow, circular shaft beginning to emerge from between the clouds. I remember thinking it was like an old movie where a UFO would send down a beam to suck up the people. Then I saw a wide, curved blade-like surface begin to form at the end of the shaft and I recognized that what was coming through the clouds was, in fact, a HUGE ANCHOR. It seemed to me that it was very old. It was a dull black and it had some rusty areas on it. At the same time, the anchor arm looked like shining, sharp steel. The anchor filled the sky and people were beginning to look up and shout for others to look; all wondering what it was and what it meant.

Anchor As I looked, I noted that the anchor was slowly moving to the left and then it would swing to the right; as a pendulum. A sickening feeling rose up inside me when I noticed that with each swing in either direction there was a “rachet-like noise” and the anchor was dropping a little closer to the earth’s surface. Even though I was in a specific place in the dream I KNEW that it had global meaning as well. I KNEW instantly that when the anchor hit the earth, it would actually cut the earth in two and that the cut would be longitudinal, beginning in the North and following through to the South.

Then I was standing with some other people closer to my home and we were watching as the anchor came closer to the earth’s surface. It seemed that it was about 20-30 feet from hitting when a woman (Sylvia) standing beside me said, “I’m going down there to get a closer look.” I said, “No, don’t go because it’s going to hit and if you’re not in a safe place it’ll kill you.” She just ran off and was standing on the dock looking up at the anchor. Suddenly, I was looking through her eyes at the broad base of the anchor’s arm. I saw thousands of faces looking through the anchor’s base at me. I was wondering who they were and why they were inside the anchor just as the anchor hit the earth.

ANCHOR: Hebrew (zrowa, zroah) is the arm (as stretched out), force—arm; help, mighty power, shoulder strength. In Greek (agkura, agkale, agkos) it is a bend, “ache”; an arm (as curved). Youngblood’s Bible Dictionary defines it as a heavy object on a ship cast overboard to hold the vessel in a particular place (see Acts 27: 27-31; 39-41). Oxford’s dictionary describes it as (noun) a heavy metal weight used to moor ship to sea bottom or a balloon to ground; thing affording stability; (verb) secure with anchor; fix firmly. (Luke 1: 46-56; John 12: 37-41, Acts 27: 14-44; Hebrews 6: 18-20)

CUT: Hebrew (karath) to cut (off, down, or asunder); by impl. to destroy or consume; spec. to covenant (i.e. make an alliance or bargain, orig. by cutting flesh and passing between the pieces)…(Genesis 15: 12-21; Matthew 27: 45-54; Hebrews 7: 22-27). In Greek (ekek) origin (point where motion or action proceeds) from, out (of place, time, or cause; direct or remote), by (the means of) exceedingly, (+ abundantly above)… (Ephesians 3: 14-21). Oxford’s defines it (verb) penetrate or wound with sharp instrument; divide (into parts) with knife etc.; trim, detach part of, by cutting; (noun) act of cutting, division or wound made by cutting; stroke of knife, sword, whip, etc. (Hebrews 4: 9-12).

EARTH: Both Hebrew and Greek have nearly identical meanings so I chose to cite the Greek, (ghay) soil; by extension a region, or the solid part of the whole of the terrene globe (incl. the occupants in each application): country, earth (-ly), ground, land, world (Matthew 24: 13, 14; John 3: 16, 17).

NORTH: Throne of God (Ezekiel, Chapters 40-43) Hebrew (tsaphan) to hide (by covering over); to hoard or reserve; to protect, esteem, hide(-den age, self), keep secret (-ly, plan) (Psalm 31: 19-24; Psalm 91).

SOUTH Hebrew (negeb) to be parched; the south (from its drought) (Amos 8: 11-13; John 7: 37, 38).

I believe that this dream has endless interpretations and it is my prayer that it will call forth a “specific Word” from the LORD into your life and situation right NOW, in Jesus name. GLOBALLY, it is a Word from GOD reminding us that HE IS GOD and there IS judgment for not believing HE IS. No one can determine when “enough is enough”; I do know that there are many today who are NOT solidly hidden in the Anchor. I feel in my heart that there is a day of reckoning just around the corner; a time where lives and situations will never again be what they are now; however, this is TRUTH as we really only have this very MOMENT. The dream spoke of a “CUT from North to South”. I believe this means that in the darkest hour His GLORY will flow with tremendous power from His throne of Grace, Mercy, and Love to reach those in the world who are PARCHED (THIRSTY) for Him to give them “LIVING WATER”! I see a promise for a GREAT HARVEST in that I had the dream on September 23rd (Fall Equinox). The ANCHOR IS JESUS: … “HE (ONLY) is the WAY, the TRUTH, and the LIFE: no man shall come unto the Father, except through Him” (John 14: 6). We who are safely anchored in Him have eyes that see those around us who are lost. All the authority of JESUS CHRIST has been given to us to go and make disciples in all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, and to teach them to obey everything that God has written in His WORD. He is anchored in us as we are to be in Him…always together until the end of the age (Matthew 28: 18-20).

I urge each of you to firmly anchor your whole life into Christ NOW! There is a song I love to sing and it speaks to “this very day and hour”…may each of you be blessed as you keep your eyes focused on JESUS! Hallelujah!

“Our HOPE is built on nothing less than JESUS’ blood and righteousness;
I dare not trust the sweetest frame, but wholly lean on JESUS’ name.
When darkness veils His lovely face, I rest on His unchanging GRACE;
In every high and stormy gale, my ANCHOR HOLDS within the veil.
His oath, His covenant, His blood support me in the whelming flood;
When all around my soul gives way, He then is all my HOPE and STAY.
When He SHALL COME with trumpet sound smile , O may I then IN HIM BE FOUND!
Dressed in His righteousness alone, faultless to stand before the throne!

Chorus…
IN CHRIST the SOLID ROCK, I stand: All other ground is SINKING SAND, all other ground is sinking sand. AMEN.”
