I was awakened this morning by a strange dream in which there were no scenes - total darkness - blackness... with the following words:

"Ramah-diyn Ra-ish"

These words were constantly being spoken throughout the night to me in my sleep. I finally awakened and could not go back to sleep and wondered what these words meant.

I was not even sure that they were words... maybe just some sort of ranting?

I have a Greek, Hebrew and Chaldee dictionary so I thought that I would take a look to see if per chance they just might in fact be words.

As I looked through the dictionary I could not find them and thought - "See, they were actually nothing". As I thought this the Holy Spirit prompted me to look again - but to separate the words.

When I look again I was so surprised to find that they are actually four separate words instead of two. Here is the meaning of the words:

Ramah - raw-maw Hebrew word meaning to hurl, throw or cast.
Diyn - deen Hebrew word meaning to strive, contend, or execute. To judge or judgement.

So, these words together "Ramah-diyn" - appear to mean to hurl, throw or cast judgement.

The dictionary also gives this scripture as an example -
Genesis 6:3
"And the Lord said, My spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also is flesh: yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years".

The second set of words

Ra - raw Hebrew word meaning Bad, calamity, sorrow, trouble.
Ish - eesh Hebrew word meaning burning, fiery, flaming, hot fire

So, these words together "Ra-ish" - appear to mean a bad, sorrowful, troublesome flaming hot fire.

What is Happening?

Could this dream mean that impending judgement is coming soon through a calamity of bad, flaming hot fire?

I do know this, the world is about to be shaken as never before. The events of September 11, 2001 will pale in comparison to what is about to take place.

We hear of terrorists threats, rumors of war, why are we so surprised? God warned us of these things in His Word... Matthew 24:5-13, please take time to read these scriptures. I will quote verse 6 at this time: Matthew 24:6 - "And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars; see that you are not troubled; for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet".

These are only the begining of sorrows upon the earth. Bad times are ahead for those outside of Christ. Judgement is coming - not only for those outside of Christ, but judgement will begin in the "house of God".

However, in the midst of all of this chaos, confusion, turmoil and destruction... the Church is going to triumph!! The church is going to shine as never before - it's the church's time to shine!

Isaiah 60:1-2 - "Arise, shine; for thy light is come, and the glory of the Lord is risen upon thee. For gross darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness the people: but the Lord shall rise upon thee, and his glory shall be seen upon thee".

I believe two things are about to take place:

One - Dark days are coming upon the earth as never seen before in history. Judgement is coming.

Two - The true church will be ready and full of the Holy Ghost, standing as a mighty army, ready for a mighty harvest of souls that God has prepared.

This will be one of the greatest times in history for the church - the church is not going out wimpy, and downcast. But the church is going out in a blaze of glory, victorious and triumphant!

Are you ready for what is about to take place?

Are you saved? Have you come to Christ and asked Him to forgive you of your sins? God wants to extend mercy to you today through His Son, Jesus Christ.

1 John 1:9 says - "If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. (v 10) If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us."

If you have not asked him to forgive you, please do it today - don't wait until it's too late. If you have asked forgiveness today - we want to know about it so that we may rejoice with you.
