DREAM and PROPHECY
Job 33:14-18 For God speaketh once, yea twice,
yet man perceives it not. [15] In a dream, in a vision of the night, when deep
sleep falls upon men, in slumber upon the bed; [16] Then he opens the ears of
men, and seals their instruction, [17] That he may withdraw man from his
purpose, and hide pride from man. [18] He keepeth back his soul from the pit,
and his life from perishing by the sword.
The following is what I wrote in
my journal at 2:30 a.m. July 22, 1996. I am not going to try and explain the
dream or the scriptures. I wrote only what stood out to me and I am
amazed at what actually happened. Even the death of the governor or the
one left in charge (Vernon) came to pass. Some things that I wrote that morning
with a question mark beside it because I had no idea. I have watched most of
this entire scenario come to pass in the last few years and have no doubt that
the rest will also happen. I remember how amazed I was when Gary King gave me a
copy of the "oath" they took.
Lloyd L. Goodwin passed away from
a heart attack at Gospel Assembly Church on the night of July 20, 1996. (I was told of
this the next morning on July 21, 1996.)
In the early morning hours of July 22, 1996
I had a very vivid dream after which I woke up.
I dreamed that I was going to a
Doctor's office or hospital. I was barefoot for some reason. As I went in, I
noticed a lot of people from Gospel Assembly. I started to walk across the room
and noticed that there were bloody footprints
all over the white
floor. I remember thinking, "I can't walk across that floor barefoot,
it's contaminated!" So I started to go down a hallway and noticed that
there were people on stretchers lined up down the hall. These people had been wounded and were bleeding. I thought, I couldn't go that way either because "what if they have aids and I touch the blood?" So I walked along the edge of the wall putting one
foot in front of the other since that was the only place where there was no
blood and then it seems that my sister, Betty, helped me get out of there.
I woke up and it was 2:30 a.m. July 22nd. I
picked up my daily Bible that I had not read from in several months. I kept it
marked in the place where I left off the last time. The following scriptures
are the ones that stood out to me as a message from the Holy Spirit:
This is a type. Lloyd Goodwin always
compared the church here in Des Moines to Jerusalem.
Lament. 4:11-22
(11) The LORD has given full vent to his wrath;
he has poured out his fierce anger. He kindled
a fire in Zion that consumed her foundations. (The
foundation was L. Goodwin)
[12] The kings of the earth did not believe, nor
did any of the world's people, that enemies and foes could enter the gates of
Jerusalem.
[13] But it happened because of the sins of her prophets and the iniquities of her
priests, who shed within her the blood of the righteous. (Like my dream)
[14] Now they grope through the streets like men
who are blind. They are so defiled with blood
that no one dares to touch their garments. (Like
my dream.)
[15] "Go away! You are unclean!" men
cry to them. "Away! Away! Don't touch us!" When they flee and wander about, people among the
nations say, "They can stay here no longer."
[16] The LORD himself has scattered them; he no
longer watches over them. The priests are
shown no honor, the elders no favor. (From what I've been told, this happened.)
[17] Moreover, our eyes failed, looking in vain for help; from our towers we watched for a nation that could not save
us.
[18] Men stalked us at every step, so we could
not walk in our streets. Our end was near, our days were numbered, for our end
had come.
[19] Our pursuers were swifter than eagles in
the sky; they chased us over the mountains
and lay in wait for us in the desert. (The mountains of Kingsport?)
[20] The LORD'S anointed, our very life breath,
was caught in their traps. We thought that under his shadow we would live among
the nations.
[21] Rejoice and be glad, O Daughter of Edom,
you who live in the land of Uz. But to you
also the cup will be passed; you will be drunk and stripped naked. (Edom-wicked?) (Lee Ray?)
[22] O Daughter of Zion, (Zion-righteous?) your
punishment will end; he will not prolong your
exile. But, O Daughter of Edom, he
will punish your sin and expose your wickedness.
Lamentations 5: various verses
(7) Our fathers sinned and are no more, and we
bear their punishment.
(12) Princes have been hung up by their hands;
elders are shown no respect. (This happened.)
(14-16) The
elders are gone from the city gate; the young men have stopped their music. (This happened)
[15] Joy is gone from our hearts; our dancing
has turned to mourning.
[16] The
crown has fallen from our head. Woe to
us, for we have sinned! (Des Moines was
supposed to be the crowning assembly.)
The next part: 2 Kings 25
Only two
months will pass before there is conflict from within the ranks of those who have
been left desolate in Judah. Shows how the
leaders evil character is revealed when they murder innocent people and how
Jeremiah bringing more rebuke and judgment to them. (This happened even before two months according to
witnesses.)
Talks about the man who was appointed as governor
over the land (pastor?
- Vernon?)
He took an oath to reassure them and their
men. "Do not be afraid to
serve the Babylonians. Settle down and serve the king of Babylon and it will go
well with you." (Many of the ministers
actually signed an "oath" to this effect. I don't know if Vernon was the one
to put it together but he did sign it.)
Jeremiah 40:13-16
(13) Johanan son of Kareah and all the army
officers still in the open country came to Gedaliah at Mizpah [14] and said to
him, "Don't you know that Baalis king of the Ammonites has sent Ishmael
son of Nethaniah to take your life?" But Gedaliah son of Ahikam did not believe them.
[15] Then Johanan son of Kareah said privately
to Gedaliah in Mizpah, "Let me go and kill Ishmael son of Nethaniah, and
no one will know it. Why should he take your
life and cause all the Jews who are gathered around you to be scattered and the
remnant of Judah to perish?"
[16] But Gedaliah son of Ahikam said to Johanan
son of Kareah, "Don't do such a thing! What you are saying about Ishmael
is not true."
2 Kings 25:25 & Jeremiah
41:1-3
Ishmael came and struck this leader down (Vernon?)
Along with all the Jews who were with him.
The remnant that is left goes to (Jeremiah - Or whoever sends the warning) for direction. APlease
hear our petition and pray to the Lord your God for this entire remnant. For as
you now see, though we were once many, now
only a few are left. Pray that the Lord
will tell us where we should go and what we should do." But the people did not listen to Jeremiah. They called him a liar. He
warned them not to go to Egypt (Kingsport?) But they went any way.
"The Lord Almighty, the God of Israel
says."
You saw the great disaster I brought on
Jerusalem and on all the towns of Judah.
"Again and again I sent my servants the prophets who said: "Do not do
this detestable thing that I hate!"
But they did not listen or pay attention.
So he sends his curse on them and said "none will return except a few fugitives."
(From Egypt - Kingsport?)
My comments:
I feel that God dealt with L.
L. Goodwin for years, pleading with him to change.
He was told in 1993:
"I have warned you, you
have refused to repent, you are judged!"
He still refused. He made the
statement several times that people were going to start dropping dead right in
the church. (Like Annanias and Saphira) He was the first one.
It's very sad to me. I'm glad
his reign of terror is over but I do not rejoice at his great fall. My heart
goes out to those who are left wounded and bleeding. My prayer is that they
will not continue in his evil but that they will "turn and be
healed."
From the Living Bible:
"Therefore I brought forth
fire from your own actions and let it burn you to ashes upon the
earth in the sight of all those watching you. All who know you are appalled at
your fate: you are an example of horror. "You are destroyed forever."
When I wrote that scripture the
first time and sent it to Lloyd Goodwin in 1991, I had no idea what it meant but when
you think about it and how he died right in church from a heart attack. He was
an example of horror. Also, even when I wrote it in my journal the second time.
