Visions
While working on a video relating to today’s message, I decided to take a break and post part of it here. Several opulent and unusually large white pearls were shown in a vision. It reminded me of another vision shown some years ago of white exquisite looking pearls falling down from above (from heaven). Some fell as single pearls, others fell as long strands. The weight of these pearls could actually be felt as they fell. It was raining pearls! And it’s one of those visions you can never forget.
Interpretation
Raining as an action represents the outpouring of the Word and of the Holy Spirit from above to Believers down below. (Prov. 1:23; Joel 2:28-29; Acts 2:16-17) So a pearl biblically and symbolically represents beauty and a rare treasure. It also symbolizes heavenly wisdom whereas white symbolizes purity, holiness and righteousness. Most importantly Jesus compared pearls to the Kingdom having such incomparable value that it is worth losing everything to possess even one! Yes, this is the parable of the Merchant and the Pearl of Great Price. And it is no coincidence that this vision relating again to the Kingdom was shown the day after having posted the message entitled, Assigned Kingdom Keys, linked here. The Lord works in wondrous and timely ways through the Holy Spirit and it is all, as was spoken recently, Perfect!
Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a merchant man, seeking goodly pearls: who, when he had found one pearl of great price, went and sold all that he had, and bought it. (Mat 13:45-46)
Believers and Merchants
Let me be blunt, finding these pearls will cost you. It means that we will be broken in the natural. That life as we once knew it will be gone and that we can never go back. That we will most likely walk alone for a while or even longer because no one in our circle will understand our set apart journey. It will mean saying goodbye to some friends, co-workers and perhaps even family members. So Yes, there will be great loss because we have transitioned or are transitioning into a different life. And it’s a long drawn out process that feels like it will never end; much like that irritating grain of sand that finds it way into an oyster but with time produces a beautiful fresh pearl. And it’s with faithful perseverance and endurance that the Lord reassembles the lives of His faithful Believers in accordance with His new ways and the heavenly fruit of that is, and will be, worth everything it took to find that one Kingdom pearl!
For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: and whosoever will lose his life for my sake shall find it. (Mat. 16:25)
The Kingdom Bride
The vision also brought thoughts of Jesus and of His transformed Bride who is described as being adorned with jewellery. (Ezek. 16:11-13; Jer. 2:32; Rev. 19:7) And jewellery is always the last stage of a bride’s preparation. Could this vision also be pointing to the imminent return of the Groom? I do not know but I hope so. However that works out, it makes sense that exquisite pearls of the Lord’s imputed righteousness, holiness and purity will form part of her bridal attire for that great day when She finally enters the Kingdom’s pearled gates with Him.
Repent for the KINGDOM of GOD is at hand. (Mat. 3:2)
And this gospel of the KINGDOM shall be preached in all the earth for a testimony to all the nations and then will come the end. (Mat. 24:14)
Keep the Faith and keep on keeping on, it’s worth keeping!! Suzanne ♥ ✝
