Come, my people, enter thou into thy chambers, and shut thy doors about thee: hide thyself as it were for a little moment, until the indignation be overpast. (Is. 26:20)
It is 11 a.m. as of the writing of this post. In a vision recently, I was shown an oil lamp. I looked outside and it had become very dark with turbulent stormy winds. Suddenly, the curtains are shut by invisible hands and a lamp emitting bright white light appeared. (Ex. 10:23)
In the Natural
The vision has a twofold meaning. Following the vision, we have been under a couple of heavy thunderstorm and tornado alerts which is unusual for this part of the world but, praise the Lord with thanksgiving, we did not have damaging winds nor tornadoes touch down in our area. And today again, another severe thunderstorm warning with damaging winds has been issued. The smell of smoke from the fires in the west are carried on the winds and this evening windows are kept closed. There is no doubt that the intensity and frequency of these storms and fires are increasing. From a natural perspective, looking outside the window points to discerning physical events; in this case, it was in Canada. But I sense, it extends to an even greater geographical area. Having an emergency preparation plan in place is a wise thing to do.
In the Spiritual
From a spiritual perspective, looking outside the window symbolizes discerning the times. The lamp represents the Lord’s Word and His Holy Spirit Presence abiding in us. I am reminded, too, that we are called to keep our lamps lit to meet the Groom when He returns at midnight (time of darkness). Although we do not know the exact day and hour of the Lord’s return, Jesus did instruct that the wise are nonetheless still called to keep watching and to be prepared to meet Him. Regardless of what happens or doesn’t happen out there in the darkness of this fallen world, be prepared spiritually. Keep focused on the Lord, lean heavily on Him for guidance, do not become distracted and disturbed, occupy as you can and lets keep our lamps lit!
