Please read the following for Part 2 of The Vision: The Revelation..........
REVELATION OF THE VISION
I eventually went back to lay down, trying to finish calming myself down. As I lay there, I begin to ponder and meditate on everything I had seen in the vision. Suddenly, I remembered something my mother use to tell me when I was a young boy, about the falling away of the saints in the last days. She would say, "There will be people that really and sincerely loved and lived for God, but in the last days, some of those same people will fall away and lose their love for God". Then a little later, as I was driving to work, the Lord began to give me insight and revelation regarding the vision.
The Lord let me know that the gigantic building full of people, dressed like they were going to church, represented "THE CHURCH" (The Body of Christ). When he told me that, it made more since to me why everyone was dressed for church. The Lord then let me know that the event we were all waiting on to take place, was "THE RETURN OF JESUS CHRIST" (The Rapture).
The Lord let me know that while the Church is waiting on Christ's return, an earthquake (The Great Shaking) is taking place and many in the Church are falling away from the faith in the meantime. So those individuals, that I saw falling out of the windows, represent "THE GREAT FALLING AWAY". The fact those that fell seem to fall and fall and fall (seemingly forever), further details the severity of the fall. This was not a slip. This was not a stumble. This was not a trip. This was not an accident. This was not a mistake. This was a GREAT FALL!! The Lord also let me know that those I saw sliding across the floor, represents "A BACKSLIDING CHURCH"!!
The Lord let me know that the pole that I saw that had not been affected by the earthquake represents three things. The first thing it represents is The Alter. The Lord began to let me know that The Church has abandoned the altar. Many churches/ministries don't even have prayer/tarry services any more. They have mid-week services. Mid-week service is good in its place, but it's always a good thing to let the saints of God come get on their faces before God and linger/wait (tarry) in His presence until yokes are broken and change takes place. In abandoning the altar, The Church has lost it’s "seek".
The Church has lost the zeal and passion for seeking God. The Church now spends more time seeking God's "hand" rather than His "face". The Church seeks Him for stuff, but not for more of Him. The Church seeks after material gain, but not to gain a closer deeper more intimate relationship with Him. The Church seeks for more money...more this...more that...but not for more power! The Church has miss prioritized it's seek. The Church is seeking for things but not for the Kingdom....but Mathews 6:33 instructs us to seek first the Kingdom of God and all of these "things" will be added. It's time for The Church as a global body of believers to tie on to the horns of the altar and seek the face of God. It's time to cry out to him like never before (Isaiah 55: 6 & 7). It's time to wail and travail on the altar seeking God's face, in the spirit of repentance, until true deliverance, breakthrough and healing (for the inner man) is manifested (2 Chronicles 7:14).
The Lord let me know that the second thing the pole represented was the Word of God. When he told me this, my mind immediately went to that old famous saying we always say in church, "Everything is going down, but the Word of God!" In the dream, the pole was the only thing that was not affected by the earthquake. Everything else was in shambles. Everything else was torn and ripped apart. Everything else was pretty much destroyed, but that pole was still strong, shiny and brand new. Jesus told the disciples in Luke 13:31, "Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words will not pass away". David said in Psalms 119:11, "Thy Word have I hid in my heart that I might not sin against thee". Too many church folk are still tipping and dipping, ducking and dodging, slipping and sliding, lying and cussing...etc., because they don't have enough Word in them. Proverbs 3:3 further details this, instructing us to write His commandments (the word) on the table of our hearts. It's time for us to get so deep in God's Word that His Word actually takes up residence and lives inside of us (John 15:7)! It's time to really get The Word waaaay down on the inside.
The Lord let me know that just because an individual is able to quote scriptures word for word, line for line, sentence for sentence and paragraph for paragraph, doesn't mean the Word is in them. Furthermore, just because that individual can tell exactly where the scripture can be found at, also doesn't mean that the Word is in them. The Lord gave me a little illustration to further drive home this point. One may be able to quote Exodus 20:16, "Thou shalt not bear false witness (lie) against thy neighbor". An individual may be able to quote this scripture to the "T", and may also be able to tell where that passage can be found, but IF they are still telling lies (bearing false witness), that Word IS NOT IN THEM YET!!! The Word becomes in you, when you can DO WHAT IT SAYS (OBEY IT)!!! The Word becomes in you, when you can actually and literally walk it out!...better yet, LIVE IT!! Once we can do this, we become "living epistles"...walking, moving, breathing, living scriptures, written not on paper, but in our hearts (2 Corinthians 3: 2 & 3).
The third thing the pole represents is JESUS CHRIST! The Bible declares in John 1:1, "In the beginning was he Word and the Word was with God, and the Word was God." John 1:14 picks it up there and says, "And the Word was made flesh and dwelt among us and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the father, full of grace and truth." This passage of scripture is a direct reference to Jesus Christ!! The only way that we can keep from falling away, is to be so wrapped up, tied up and tangled up in Jesus, that nothing can shake us loose! The only place of safety and refuge from The Great Falling Away, is IN JESUS (John 15:4-7 & Proverbs 18:10)!! It's time to cry out to the Lord and call on Jesus like never before, as He is our ONLY place of security (Roman 10:13 & Acts 2:21).
The Lord began to let me know that we are in the last days and that The Great Falling Away (2 Thessalonians 2: 3) is taking place RIGHT NOW!!!! He did not inform me of how long we had already been in it for, nor did he inform me of how long it was supposed to last for, but he did let me know that The Falling Away is happening now!
