Eve Brast - 07/20/2014 I dreamed that I lived inside a large, elongated globe that was shaped like Earth. (Eve represents the Bride who is in the world but not of the world. {Joh.17:11} And I am no more in the world, and these are in the world, and I come to thee. Holy Father, keep them in thy name which thou hast given me, that they may be one, even as we [are]. ... {14} I have given them thy word; and the world hated them, because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.) This globe looked like a glass-covered disco ball but instead of mirrors (to see self in) there were windows all over it. (So the heavenly can be seen from the spiritual world.) It was suspended on nothing and rotated in the midst of an atmosphere of clouds with some kind of watery layer encapsulating the atmosphere of clouds. (The external physical world.) {Gen.1:7} And God made the firmament, and divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament: and it was so. There were many others who lived in this globe with me. They were all teenagers and younger. I was a teenager also. (At this time, the Bride is the most mature, although will mature more as the tribulation arrives and continues.) (These are all who were Christ's from the foundation of the world. It represents a [spiritual] world within a [physical] world.) The globe had a single school room inside it and a gymnasium on a lower floor. (There is only one way to salvation and one teaching that we've heard from the beginning. The gym is where we learn to exercise our faith by prayer and resting in His promises.) The school room was off toward the outer edge inside of the globe. There was a full-length, narrow, window on the outer wall that looked out into the clouds of the atmosphere. (Most religious schools are of the physical world. The spiritual school was where Heaven could be seen and understood.) The doorway of the school room opened into a large open dining area where all the people would go to eat. I would not eat there, but spent much time fasting, praying, sighing and crying. (The Bride is eating more spiritual food than the virgins.) {Joh.4:34} Jesus saith unto them, My meat is to do the will of him that sent me, and to accomplish his work. When I stood in the doorway of the school room, I could see out across the open dining hall toward the opposite outer wall and see the clouds of the atmosphere through many other full-length, narrow windows that were fitted together (like the glass of a disco ball). (Jesus is the door through which we are schooled to see the heavenly.) As the dream started, I was in the gym, sitting on some highly polished wooden bleachers. (The spiritual life supported by resting the physical life.) I was constantly taking in deep, very exaggerated, sighing breaths and streams of tears constantly streamed down from my eyes in silent mourning as I prayed for all those in the globe. (Like the Bride, Lot's soul was vexed with the wickedness and suffering of the people in Sodom.) A white wall or fence of some kind that looked segmented constantly divided me from the other girls. (Esther in chapter 2 pleased Hegai, the king's chamberlain, who represents the Holy Spirit, and was separated to the best place of the house of the women before being chosen by the king to be his bride. {Est.2:8} So it came to pass, when the king's commandment and his decree was heard, and when many maidens were gathered together unto Shushan the palace, to the custody of Hegai, that Esther was taken into the king's house, to the custody of Hegai, keeper of the women. {9} And the maiden pleased him, and she obtained kindness of him; and he speedily gave her her things for purification, with her portions, and the seven maidens who were meet to be given her out of the king's house: and he removed her and her maidens to the best place of the house of the women. ... {13} then in this wise came the maiden unto the king: whatsoever she desired was given her to go with her out of the house of the women unto the king's house.) The other girls were on the basketball court practicing free throws. ("Free throws" is a play on words for casting your cares upon the Lord.) {Joh.8:36} If therefore the Son shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed. {1Pe.5:6-9} Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time; casting all your anxiety upon him, because he careth for you. Be sober, be watchful: your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour, whom withstand stedfast in your faith, knowing that the same sufferings are accomplished in your brethren who are in the world. (Also, when we are fouled or persecuted by the wicked on the other team, we are able to make points for our team. From Wikipedia: In basketball, free throws or foul shots are unopposed attempts to score points from a restricted area on the court [the free throw line; informally known as the foul line], and are generally awarded after a foul on the shooter by the opposing team.) I could see their arms and the very tops of their heads as they would take turns jumping and throwing the basketball. The skin of their arms was various shades from dark brown to very light brown and their hair also. (The pool of maidens, from which the Bride is chosen, are from all nationalities.) We all looked Hispanic to some degree. (To a more or less degree Christians are foreigners and sojourners, who are just passing through this world which is not our home.) {Lev.25:23} And the land shall not be sold in perpetuity; for the land is mine: for ye are strangers and sojourners with me. {1Co.15:35-49} But someone will say, How are the dead raised? and with what manner of body do they come? Thou foolish one, that which thou thyself sowest is not quickened except it die: and that which thou sowest, thou sowest not the body that shall be, but a bare grain, it may chance of wheat, or of some other kind; but God giveth it a body even as it pleased him, and to each seed a body of its own. All flesh is not the same flesh: but there is one flesh of men, and another flesh of beasts, and another flesh of birds, and another of fishes. There are also celestial bodies, and bodies terrestrial: but the glory of the celestial is one, and the glory of the terrestrial is another. There is one glory of the sun, and another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars; for one star differeth from another star in glory. So also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption; it is raised in incorruption: it is sown in dishonor; it is raised in glory: it is sown in weakness; it is raised in power: it is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. If there is a natural body, there is also a spiritual body . So also it is written, The first man Adam became a living soul. The last Adam became a life-giving spirit. Howbeit that is not first which is spiritual, but that which is natural; then that which is spiritual. The first man is of the earth, earthy: the second man is of heaven. As is the earthy, such are they also that are earthy: and as is the heavenly, such are they also that are heavenly. And as we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly. I sat near the dividing wall on the bleachers and sighed and cried continually for the Body. (The mark of the Bride is crying and sighing over the abominations done in apostate Christianity. This separates her from those of the Body who love the world. {Eze.9:1} Then he cried in mine ears with a loud voice, saying, Cause ye them that have charge over the city (the Beast is besieging the city)to draw near, every man with his destroying weapon in his hand. {2} And behold, six men(the Beast) came from the way of the upper gate, which lieth toward the north (from where the Beast attacks), every man with his slaughter weapon in his hand; and one man in the midst of them clothed in linen, with a writer's inkhorn by his side. And they went in, and stood beside the brazen altar. {3} And the glory of the God of Israel was gone up from the cherub, whereupon it was, to the threshold of the house: and he called to the man clothed in linen (Jesus) , who had the writer's inkhorn by his side. Jesus writes the Word upon our mind and works - "Be transformed by the renewing of your minds". {4} And Jehovah said unto him, Go through the midst of the city, through the midst of Jerusalem, and set a mark upon the foreheads of the men that sigh and that cry over all the abominations that are done in the midst thereof. Those with the mind [forehead] of the Spirit and works [hand] of the Spirit were not destroyed by the six men [the Beast] who come to conquer carnal Christianity. {5} And to the others he said in my hearing, Go ye through the city after him, and smite: let not your eye spare, neither have ye pity; {6} slay utterly the old man, the young man and the virgin, and little children and women; but come not near any man upon whom is the mark: and begin at my sanctuary. Then they began at the old men that were before the house. {7} And he said unto them, Defile the house, and fill the courts with the slain: go ye forth. And they went forth, and smote in the city.) The dividing wall would move with me everywhere I went in the gym. {1Co.5:11} but as it is, I wrote unto you not to keep company, if any man that is named a brother be a fornicator, or covetous, or an idolater, or a reviler, or a drunkard, or an extortioner; with such a one no, not to eat. {2Co.6:17,18} Wherefore Come ye out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, And touch no unclean thing; And I will receive you, And will be to you a Father, And ye shall be to me sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty. There was a Hispanic-looking (foreign to this world) coach with extremely white teeth that seemed to glow when he smiled. (Judah, from which Jesus in the Man-child comes: {Gen.49:8-12} Judah, thee shall thy brethren praise: Thy hand shall be on the neck of thine enemies; Thy father's sons shall bow down before thee. ... The sceptre shall not depart from Judah, Nor the ruler's staff from between his feet, Until Shiloh come: And unto him shall the obedience of the peoples be. ... His eyes shall be red with wine, And his teeth white with milk.) He was also the teacher for the one room school room (he represents Christ. It seemed to me that he was responsible for all the people living inside this globe. He was very fatherly and patient with us all, patiently teaching and coaching and encouraging us, even though many were ignoring him and taking his loving care for us for granted. He looked just like Eric Estrada from that 1970s TV show CHIPS and he was always smiling that big bright smile toward us. He loved us so much and saw in all of us our end from our beginning. (All of the people in this inner globe were part of the body of Christ and all at different stages of coming into His image; some of them were not even saved yet, but He knew us all and loved us so much.) {Isa.46:9-13} Remember the former things of old: for I am God, and there is none else; I am God, and there is none like me; declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times things that are not yet done; saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will do all my pleasure; calling a ravenous bird from the east, the man of my counsel from a far country; yea, I have spoken, I will also bring it to pass; I have purposed, I will also do it. Hearken unto me, ye stout-hearted, that are far from righteousness: I bring near my righteousness, it shall not be far off, and my salvation shall not tarry; and I will place salvation in Zion for Israel my glory. I caught his eye because I was separated (meaning of sanctified) and because of my constant sighing and crying. (Jesus loves the Bride who has His heart.) He smiled at me from across the gymnasium and came alongside the white fence and sat down next to me. He asked why I was crying and I said, "I'm mourning for what is coming upon the globe". He was silent and reflective for a moment as he bowed his head and bit his lower lip. He then brightened and smiled again and said, "You look very strong! I have a test for you. Come with me". In the dream, I was wearing an old "Army issue" green t-shirt and I had the upper torso of Dwayne Johnson whose wrestling name is "The Rock". (This is a play on words. We are strong when standing on "The Rock".) {Eph.6:12} For our wrestling is not against flesh and blood, but against the principalities, against the powers, against the world-rulers of this darkness, against the spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places. {Psa.18:2} Jehovah is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; My God, my rock, in whom I will take refuge; My shield, and the horn of my salvation, my high tower. I told him that I seemed to be strong because of the appearance of my torso and arms, but that I was not really strong physically. He said, "Follow me". So, as we got up I followed him to the center of the basketball court and as I walked the white fence shifted and made way for me to walk with him. Then he went and got a large, clear plastic air mattress that was not completely aired up. He told me to fold it in half and hold it with one arm while punching it with the other. I could barely punch it and told him, "I'm not that good at self-defense". (Paul was not good at uselessly punching the air either. He fought with his flesh to gain self-control in all things. The Bride is winning the prize in this way. {1Co.9:24} Know ye not that they that run in a race run all, but one receiveth the prize? Even so run; that ye may attain. {25} And every man that striveth in the games exerciseth self-control in all things. Now they [do it] to receive a corruptible crown; but we an incorruptible. {26} I therefore so run, as not uncertainly; so fight I, as not beating the air: {27} but I buffet my body, and bring it into bondage: lest by any means, after that I have preached to others, I myself should be rejected. I was afraid I was going to disappoint him, but he was very pleased with my weakness to punch the air mattress and said, "That's good!" And he smiled really big at me. {2Co.12:9} And he hath said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my power is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my weaknesses, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. After this, we went upstairs to the class room. It was very small with four rows of three desks each. (12 the number of the chosen.) My son Noah's white wooden train table that he got for his second birthday was at the front of the class. (This was my "desk".) It was the last day of school. (Time for the Bride to go to work.) There were four teenage girls sitting in the desks, texting on their phones. But, during the school year, 12 teenage boys had sat in these desks and they had graduated early (Man-child apostolic ministry). There were another two girls who were laying on the floor face down, but propped on their elbows, with their smart phones, texting constantly. They were Jewish (as a type of Christian) and looked like the singer Amy Winehouse with dyed black hair and thickly painted eyes. (These may represent current Jezebels in the body today who haven't been taught that female manipulation of the man is evil and considered witchcraft.) {2Ki.9:30} And when Jehu was come to Jezreel, Jezebel heard of it; and she painted her eyes, and attired her head, and looked out at the window. My place in the class room was laying on my back on the train table with my knees bent and my hands folded together. (With eyes toward Heaven, the Bride becomes one, symbolized by the train; each car connected into one train and moving in unity. Many tracks are figure 8s, which is the symbol of eternity or eternal life.) As I observed myself, in the spirit, laying on the train table, I was looking toward Heaven and still sighing with streams of tears silently falling and pooling in my ears. I noticed that now I was dressed in clothing from the 1980s. (Clothed with Christ.) My hair lay spread out on the train table with strands of shimmering gold in it that seemed to be growing out with my own hair and my eyes were the color of bright amber gold with flecks of green and seemed to glow somehow. My skin also had turned to a light olive color. All the girls in the class had a crush on the teacher and would wink their eye or bat their fake eyelashes at him, hoping they could manipulate him into choosing them. {Pro.6:13,14} A worthless person, a man of iniquity, Is he that walketh with a perverse mouth; That winketh with his eyes, that speaketh with his feet, That maketh signs with his fingers.... They never paid attention to his lessons or showed any reverence toward him. (The religious ignore the Word who is Jesus.) They just flirted with him and trivialized everything he taught. They had not learned the fear of the Lord. While the teacher was giving his last lecture, he noticed me, again, sighing and crying on the train table. He stopped, clasped his hands together in front of his chest, smiled and came over to me. He laid down next to me with his left arm propped up next to my head. {Son.2:4-6} He brought me to the banqueting-house, And his banner over me was love. Stay ye me with raisins, refresh me with apples; For I am sick from love. His left hand is under my head, And his right hand doth embrace me. He smiled a big smile and said quietly(so the others wouldn't know), "I choose you". {Est.2:15}... And Esther obtained favor in the sight of all them that looked upon her. {16} So Esther was taken unto king Ahasuerus into his house royal in the tenth month, which is the month Tebeth, in the seventh year of his reign. {17} And the king loved Esther above all the women, and she obtained favor and kindness in his sight more than all the virgins; so that he set the royal crown upon her head, and made her queen instead of Vashti.) And he laid two of the sweetest-smelling roses across my chest. I had never smelled anything so sweet before. One was the deepest red, like blood, and the other was the whitest white, with a very fine royal purple edge on each petal. I then became full of joy and excitement and forgot my sadness. {Heb.12:2} looking unto Jesus the author and perfecter of [our] faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising shame, and hath sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. I took the roses in my left hand as he took my right hand and lifted me up off of the train table. I followed him to the back of the classroom, stepping over the girls laying around on the floor, texting. They were not paying attention, as usual, and had no idea that the teacher had chosen me. They didn't even see or smell the roses he had given me. They were still flirting with him, thinking that they still had a chance. At the back of the classroom was a large white wall, like a dry erase board. The teacher wrote on it with his finger when teaching the class. (Jesus wrote with His finger when convicting the apostates of their sins.) However, the writing would disappear after a minute or so and if you were not giving him your undivided attention you would miss what he was teaching and would not be able to take notes. (If we do not quickly obey the Word, according to our conscience, the conviction will leave and we will forget it.) He wrote some final instructions for the class but, of course, they were not paying attention and missed his instructions. {Luk.21:34} But take heed to yourselves, lest haply your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and that day come on you suddenly as a snare.... Then the bell rang and all the girls jumped up and left the room. (All their thoughts on vacation, no doubt.) The teacher and I stayed behind and I went over to look out the narrow window into the clouds. He came over and stood next to me. Suddenly, a woman's voice came over a loudspeaker from the ceiling in the open dining area and said, "Attention, everyone. The globe is slowing down substantially and will come to a halt shortly. We are not sure what is causing this to happen. You will need to take precautions". {Amo.3:7} Surely the Lord Jehovah will do nothing, except he reveal his secret unto his servants the prophets. (The Man-child and Bride will know when this will happen because they only were left in the room to hear the Word.) Then everything became silent and went into slow motion as the globe came to a slow stop. (I saw this from a distance as I floated in the clouds.) (Revolutions of Earth measure days or time. The Bride is chosen at the end of one era and beginning of a new one.) Once it stopped, I was back in the classroom again. (The Bride will then follow the Man-child teacher through the tribulation era.) Then all the sound returned and I saw a huge waterfall drop from out of the clouds from the top of the atmosphere and it knocked against the side of the globe and sent it into a sudden, quick spin. (The outpouring will fall at the beginning of the new era and time will begin to speed up, for, {Mar.13:20} except the Lord had shortened the days, no flesh would have been saved; but for the elect's sake, whom he chose, he shortened the days.) (I asked Father for a verse concerning this and received by random, {Jer.51:25} Behold, I am against thee, O destroying mountain (the great eagle of Babylon), saith Jehovah, which destroyest all the earth; and I will stretch out my hand upon thee, and roll thee down from the rocks, and will make thee a burnt mountain. (The judgment of Babylonish America will begin. The teacher and I went out of the classroom, into the open dining area and I could see through the windows on the opposite side the clouds going by very fast. At first, I could feel the spin when it started. It unsettled my stomach for a moment, but because I had been fasting in the dream, I didn't vomit. Then everything stabilized for me, even though I could tell everything was still spinning for the others. (The Bride will be stable while confusion will come upon those who neglected their salvation. Greasy grace will fly out the window with their all-fly-away rapture.) They were all vomiting on themselves and all over the open dining room. {Pro.23:8} The morsel which thou hast eaten shalt thou vomit up, And lose thy sweet words. {Isa.28:8} For all tables are full of vomit [and] filthiness, [so that there is] no place [clean].) I was glad I didn't eat their food. {Num.11:18-20} And say thou unto the people, Sanctify yourselves against to-morrow, and ye shall eat flesh; for ye have wept in the ears of Jehovah, saying, Who shall give us flesh to eat? for it was well with us in Egypt: therefore Jehovah will give you flesh, and ye shall eat. Ye shall not eat one day, nor two days, nor five days, neither ten days, nor twenty days, but a whole month, until it come out at your nostrils, and it be loathsome unto you; because that ye have rejected Jehovah who is among you, and have wept before him, saying, Why came we forth out of Egypt? I then went with the teacher over toward the right, outside the classroom, to a well-lit counter where I prepared special food for myself. Next to the counter was a five-year-old little boy who was my son/brother. He was in an evergreen-colored canvas stroller. He was very small for his age and weak. He looked Hispanic and always looked up toward heaven with his hands folded. He could not feed himself, so I prepared his food at the counter and puréed it and then would spoon feed it to him until he would get stronger. (This represents 5 for grace to the spiritual man, the "Christ in you" man of the Bride who is fed the Word by her to grow in strength.) (This represents the coming great revival in the seven-year tribulation.) The teacher then walked over to me while I was preparing my son/brother's food and asked me in a rhetorical tone, "Do you know why this is happening?" I said, kind of jokingly, "I don't know. Because of the magnetic pole shift?" He smiled and pointed his finger at me and said, "Bingo!" (A spiritual magnetic pole shift is being signified at a time when physical signs are happening as magnetic poles are wandering toward each other physically and Planet X could do some temporary physical pole flip in the future. Just as naturally, in the Spirit in our world positive or good and negative or bad are replacing each other at a vast rate. In one way, the Bride and Man-child have been in the school of crucifixion while the wicked are the crucifiers. But that will all spiritually change with the anointing being given to the Bride/Man-child. As Moses judged Egypt with the words of his mouth, so Jesus manifested by His Word and Spirit in the Man-child, white horse rider, of the first seal of Revelation, will judge the world. {Rev.5:9} And they sing a new song, saying, Worthy art thou to take the book, and to open the seals (beginning of the tribulation) thereof: for thou was slain, and didst purchase unto God with thy blood [men] of every tribe, and tongue, and people, and nation, {10} and madest them [to be] unto our God a kingdom and priests; and they reign upon earth. (As Mordecai and Esther brought down the kingdom of the Beast who sought to destroy God's Kingdom, so will the Man-child and Bride. {Act.17:6} ... These that have turned the world upside down are come hither also. Meaning: "Oh, no. Those crazy Christians have come here, too". {Deu.28:13} And Jehovah will make thee the head, and not the tail; and thou shalt be above only, and thou shalt not be beneath; if thou shalt hearken unto the commandments of Jehovah thy God, which I command thee this day, to observe and to do [them], {14} and shalt not turn aside from any of the words which I command you this day, to the right hand, or to the left, to go after other gods to serve them. {Jas.4:10} Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall exalt you.) Then he pulled out a special smart phone that was silver with a maroon cover on it. It had all known information on it and had the answers to everything. He asked, "Do you want to see what happened when the water came down?" (The outpouring of the latter rain.) I said, "Yes". So he showed me a video of what happened and I saw a huge waterfall rushing down the side of a huge mountain (the Kingdom of God), washing many wicked people from off of it. (Cleansing the Kingdom of the wicked: {Mat.13:24} Another parable set he before them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is likened unto a man that sowed good seed in his field: {25} but while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares also among the wheat, and went away. ... {30} Let both grow together until the harvest: and in the time of the harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather up first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them; but gather the wheat into my barn.) And I heard their screams as they were swept away in the rushing rapids. (Judgments coming to the physical earth will cause the spiritual kingdom of God to repent and come into the unity of the body of Christ.) {Isa.24} Behold, Jehovah maketh the earth empty, and maketh it waste, and turneth it upside down, and scattereth abroad the inhabitants thereof. And it shall be, as with the people, so with the priest; as with the servant, so with his master; as with the maid, so with her mistress; as with the buyer, so with the seller; as with the creditor, so with the debtor; as with the taker of interest, so with the giver of interest to him. The earth shall be utterly emptied, and utterly laid waste; for Jehovah hath spoken this word. The earth mourneth and fadeth away, the world languisheth and fadeth away, the lofty people of the earth do languish. The earth also is polluted under the inhabitants thereof; because they have transgressed the laws, violated the statutes, broken the everlasting covenant. Therefore hath the curse devoured the earth, and they that dwell therein are found guilty: therefore the inhabitants of the earth are burned, and few men left. The new wine mourneth, the vine languisheth, all the merry-hearted do sigh. he mirth of tabrets ceaseth, the noise of them that rejoice endeth, the joy of the harp ceaseth. They shall not drink wine with a song; strong drink shall be bitter to them that drink it. The waste city is broken down; every house is shut up, that no man may come in. There is a crying in the streets because of the wine; all joy is darkened, the mirth of the land is gone. In the city is left desolation, and the gate is smitten with destruction. For thus shall it be in the midst of the earth among the peoples, as the shaking of an olive-tree, as the gleanings when the vintage is done. These shall lift up their voice, they shall shout; for the majesty of Jehovah they cry aloud from the sea. Wherefore glorify ye Jehovah in the east, even the name of Jehovah, the God of Israel, in the isles of the sea. From the uttermost part of the earth have we heard songs: Glory to the righteous. But I said, I pine away, I pine away, woe is me! the treacherous have dealt treacherously; yea, the treacherous have dealt very treacherously. Fear, and the pit, and the snare, are upon thee, O inhabitant of the earth. And it shall come to pass, that he who fleeth from the noise of the fear shall fall into the pit; and he that cometh up out of the midst of the pit shall be taken in the snare: for the windows on high are opened, and the foundations of the earth tremble. The earth is utterly broken, the earth is rent asunder, the earth is shaken violently. The earth shall stagger like a drunken man, and shall sway to and fro like a hammock; and the transgression thereof shall be heavy upon it, and it shall fall, and not rise again. and it shall come to pass in that day, that Jehovah will punish the host of the high ones on high, and the kings of the earth upon the earth. And they shall be gathered together, as prisoners are gathered in the pit, and shall be shut up in the prison; and after many days shall they be visited. Then the moon shall be confounded, and the sun ashamed; for Jehovah of hosts will reign in mount Zion, and in Jerusalem; and before his elders shall be glory. Then he said, "Come away with me and I will take care of you. I will take care of your son/brother (Spiritual man) also". {Son.2:8-13} The voice of my beloved! behold, he cometh, Leaping upon the mountains, Skipping upon the hills. My beloved is like a roe or a young hart: Behold, he standeth behind our wall; He looketh in at the windows; He glanceth through the lattice. My beloved spake, and said unto me, Rise up, my love, my fair one, and come away. For, lo, the winter is past; The rain is over and gone; The flowers appear on the earth; The time of the singing of birds is come, And the voice of the turtle-dove is heard in our land; The fig-tree ripeneth her green figs, And the vines are in blossom; They give forth their fragrance. Arise, my love, my fair one, and come away.... {Joe.2:12-17} Yet even now, saith Jehovah, turn ye unto me with all your heart, and with fasting, and with weeping, and with mourning: and rend your heart, and not your garments, and turn unto Jehovah your God; for he is gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and abundant in loving kindness, and repenteth him of the evil. Who knoweth whether he will not turn and repent, and leave a blessing behind him, even a meal-offering and a drink-offering unto Jehovah your God? Blow the trumpet in Zion, sanctify a fast, call a solemn assembly; gather the people, sanctify the assembly, assemble the old men, gather the children, and those that suck the breasts; let the bridegroom go forth from his chamber, and the bride out of her closet. Let the priests, the ministers of Jehovah, weep between the porch and the altar, and let them say, Spare thy people, O Jehovah, and give not thy heritage to reproach, that the nations should rule over them: wherefore should they say among the peoples, Where is their God?
