One morning a little over a week ago I woke up and was talking with my wife. In mid-sentence, a vivid vision came to me. I was staring at the threshold of a huge doorway with a Foot-man standing there appearing very much as I last saw him nearly ten years ago in a previous vision/dream. The threshold was wooden but sturdy, and the Foot-man's feet had sandals and very strong, toned calves. In the last vision, the Foot-man lifted his leg and was about to cross the threshold, but instead left his foot suspended just above it. In this new vision I saw the foot descending, and my heart pounded as I cried out for the Foot-man to stop. I was too late; his foot hit the dry ground and dust scattered in the air. I heard a voice say, "Have faith for I am in control". See Mt. 14:27, 8:23-27
27But immediately Jesus spoke to them, saying, "Take courage, it is I; do not be afraid." 28Peter said to Him, "Lord, if it is You, command me to come to You on the water." 29And He said, "Come!" And Peter got out of the boat, and walked on the water and came toward Jesus. 30But seeing the wind, he became frightened, and beginning to sink, he cried out, "Lord, save me!" 31Immediately Jesus stretched out His hand and took hold of him, and said to him, "You of little faith, why did you doubt?"
23When He got into the boat, His disciples followed Him. 24And behold, there arose a great storm on the sea, so that the boat was being covered with the waves; but Jesus Himself was asleep. 25And they came to Him and woke Him, saying, "Save us, Lord; we are perishing!" 26He said to them, "Why are you afraid, you men of little faith?" Then He got up and rebuked the winds and the sea, and it became perfectly calm. 27The men were amazed, and said, "What kind of a man is this, that even the winds and the sea obey Him?"
This vision is one of a series of visions over a period of approximately 30 years. The first one occurred when I was between the ages of ten and twelve. In the first vision, I saw army personnel and flying machines battling like I'd never seen before - not even in comic books. I saw large buildings destroyed and people crying out for help.
I saw such darkness across the land that I was sickened with fear. The people in the vision were isolated and remote. Being a kid in the mid-1970's and growing up in a healthy neighborhood, I couldn't understand why people in the vision were so withdrawn and so distanced from other people. There appeared to be no community, everyone was cut off from each other.
Approximately ten years later I had a second vision. This was the first time I saw the Foot-man. At first I saw the legs and sandals of the Foot-man approach the threshold of the doorway. Just as the feet got to the doorway they stopped and the voice stated, "Have faith for they're on their way".
Another ten years passed and I again saw the Foot-man. This time he raised his foot. In the same moment, a most horrifying sight flashed before my eyes. I was in the middle of a battlefield, surrounded by blood and carnage. Even though I've been deployed with the military in war situations, I've never seen anything like what I saw in that vision. The technological capabilities that were displayed are of things yet to come, and yet I could comprehend some of that very technology. It is not so greatly advanced from what is available today.
There is still time for things here in this world to change – before the impending doom reaches us. We must do what G-d has commanded of us – to seek Him with all our heart, soul, mind and strength. (Deuteronomy 6:5) By seeking Him now and submitting our lives to Him, we shall have faith to not only move mountains, but to heal the blind and raise the dead. See Mt. 11: 4-6
4Jesus answered and said to them, "Go and report to John what you hear and see: 5the BLIND RECEIVE SIGHT and the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed and the deaf hear, the dead are raised up, and the POOR HAVE THE GOSPEL PREACHED TO THEM. 6"And blessed is he who does not take offense at Me."
The following are other Scriptures the Holy Spirit brought to mind within the vision.
Mk 7:20-23 - regarding the heart of man
20And He was saying, "That which proceeds out of the man, that is what defiles the man. 21"For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed the evil thoughts, fornications, thefts, murders, adulteries, 22deeds of coveting and wickedness, as well as deceit, sensuality, envy, slander, pride and foolishness. 23"All these evil things proceed from within and defile the man."
Jn. 13:20
20"Truly, truly, I say to you, he who receives whomever I send receives Me; and he who receives Me receives Him who sent Me."
Mt. 10:40-42
40")He who receives you receives Me, and he who receives Me receives Him who sent Me. 41")He who receives a prophet in the name of a prophet shall receive a prophet's reward; and he who receives a righteous man in the name of a righteous man shall receive a righteous man's reward. 42"And )whoever in the name of a disciple gives to one of these little ones even a cup of cold water to drink, truly I say to you, he shall not lose his reward."
