Sometime ago the Lord gave me a series of visions I wish to share with you. The first vision was of a whirling of leaves ascending upward to a pillar of smoke. The pillar then picked me up as if to look at me then put me down. Next was a ringing of bells two sets of bells, then I saw a pure white lily. Then I was shown a cage, a glassed in cage with gold on the sides, the room was dim and large the only item in the room was the cage, it was lit up but I could not tell where the light was coming from as there was no light bulbs or anything like that in the cage yet it was lit. The owl was perched on a single limb in the middle, it's feathers we're all red and it's eyes were all bloodshot and rimmed in blood. I could tell by its stance that it was very ill and when it turned its gaze towards me I immediately felt sick. I thought oh no I hate illness. At this point the Lord said " Soon I will release this on the world. Go tell the people!". With that I was pushed out of the room, when I turned to look where I had been pushed out of two black galloping horses pulling an empty chariot ran past me and into the distance. Then the Lord said " If anyone opposes you I will mark them!". Then everything was gone. I believe that the Lord is going to send sickness on the world, and though repentance was not mentioned I do believe the Lord would relent if we would repent and allow the Lord greater access into all aspects of our lives, after all he did for Ninevah! Now it may be that this is something that is coming regardless as we draw closer to His coming again. This may also be the Lord preparing us ahead of time for the inevitable. I believe that if you are already living close to the Lord and under the shadow of His wing then you probably have little to worry about cause you are ready, but I know that many are not. The Lord is warning us and to me that means that we probably are not ready for the gravity of this sickness!
