Divine Clouds of Judgment!

I received a dream-vision of high impact.  It was a short but powerful visionary dream with prophetic interpretation. It is not an easy read.

I found myself along with my wife walking on the sidewalks of a city.  All at once, I noticed the sky changed into fast floating grayish and dark clouds – clouds which were pulsating with patches of darkness of black and grey which I have never seen in such form and density.  It was an awesome sight.

They were low flying clouds which you could almost reach out and touch.  But one would not want to do that as they appeared to be threatening clouds – storm clouds generating something that pointed to the Lord’s doing upon the earth.  I told my wife we must get inside immediately.  I was not afraid, but I knew we needed to get inside to safety quickly. 

The sky was becoming more ominous, gloomy, and threatening.  I was thinking – is this really of you Lord? Then the dream ended. 

I did not really want to think about this dream when I awoke for I knew that it was pointing to a side of the Lord that I did not want to hear about. I wanted to forget this dream and thought, no, this is just a bad dream.

As I was getting ready for church the next day, the dream kept creeping back into my mind and I finally I asked the Lord the meaning of the dream.

 I felt He said to me, “What you saw in your dream was the cloud of my judgment upon this nation (America) and the cities of this nation for its wickedness is great in My sight.” This is all he said.

While at church and during the worship time, I felt the Lord bring to my mind His former statement to me and heard Him continue as I noted below.  WARNING:  This is a strong word from the Lord, and I recorded it as accurately as I could.

America, America,

Why do you play with fire?

Why do you persist

in walking and running down

 the

 path of unrighteousness.

Why do you not heed

the rebukes of My voice

 and

 hand upon your

nation and cities?

Are you so blind

that you are oblivious

 to

 my displeasure?

Are you so deaf

you do not hear

My voice through

the prophets

 I am

sending you?

Are you so numb

that you do not seek

the divine hand that desires

 to redeem you from

 your path of wandering

and

defeat?

Are you so dead

and

 full of wickedness

that you ignore

 My grace

 I have placed upon you?

Oh, America, I have

called and called and

you have refused to come.

 What am I to do with you?

You continue to walk

on the wrong path

and

now the cloud of My

judgment hand

 is over you.

I have gathered from

the

 four corners of the

earth the stormy winds

and

the pounding rains

and

 the tempest of my anger

to bring against

 your persistent

evil ways.

You have profaned

 My

Covenant

which

I made with your

 forefathers

long ago separating

 you out

as a nation

to bear the light

 of

My kingdom

to the world.

But now, you have left

your calling

and

 have gone astray.

 You have become a nation

of drifting sheep who

 have abandoned

their Shepherd

and

left the fold

of divine protection,

care,

and

security.

You have chosen

a path that has brought

dishonor to

My name

and

you no longer

seek and search for me

as you did at first.

You have become

cold and distance

while pursuing

 your own pleasures

and

wantonness

apart from

 My providence,

 wisdom,

 and

 guidance.

Hear this O’ nation of America,

the storm clouds

of My judgment

 are gathering

at an accelerated rate

over your nation

 for I cannot

walk with you in your

sin

 and

rebellion.

Unless there is a turning

from your wickedness,

and

a return to

 My grace and truth,

how can I continue

 to bear you up

 and

 place

My divine favor

and

 blessing

 on you as I have since

I spoke to your

 founding Fathers

 long ago.

Oh, American,

 My heart aches for you,

for I have cared for you,

 protected your borders,

blessed your offspring,

caused you to be

favored by the nations,

shared My wisdom

 and

 knowledge with you,

and

 now you reject

My sovereign hand

by

 choosing a way filled

with your own devices.

I call you to run to safety.

Come back to the

 shelter of My hand –

by

 running to the

ark of My salvation

for your severe judgments

 will surely

 come swiftly once it begins.

And when it begins, there

will be

 weeping and sorrowing

in the nation,

in the cities,

 and

in the homes

and

people will say,

“Why are these things happening to us?”

“What have we done to deserve this?”

We have not seen anything

like this happen to our nation?

Certainly, this must be hand of God

coming upon us?

“What must we do have God

 once again come

and

 be our God?

Oh, America,

will you not come back to Me

so I can collect you as

a hen covers her young ones

with her wings

 and

 care for you?

My call goes out,

 the judgment approaches,

the people will mourn,

the nation will falter,

and

 in a day,

the pride

and

independence

will be broken.

I can no longer carry you

in your transgressions

for I am a holy

and

 righteous God

 and

 a God to be feared.

Come back,

America,

for the storm clouds

 of judgment

are now upon you.

          Note the following verses which I looked up after this word was given to me.  These verses describe this dream, vision, and subsequent word.

 It is interesting to observe the expressions of “a day of dark clouds,”  “a day of darkness,” “a day of trouble and distress,” “a day of wrath,” and “storm clouds” - all which speak of His judgment.  In the last citation, God describes Himself wrapped in this “darkness and thick clouds” which was His covering all around Him.

 Did I have a vision of the Lord in this condition of His impending judgments as the sky I saw was unlike anything I have every witnessed.  Was He in essence the embodiment of the attributes of the sky directly over me and revealing to me His coming judgments and to warn others?

The day is near,

even the day of the Lord is near;

 It will be

a day of clouds, a

a time of doom for the nations.

 Ezekiel 30:3

A

day of darkness

 and gloom,

a day of clouds

 and

 thick darkness.

(Joel 2:2)

He knows that

a day of darkness

 is at hand.

(Job 15:23)

A day of wrath

 is that day,

a day of trouble and distress,

aA day of destruction and desolation,

 a day of darkness 

and

 gloom,

 A day of clouds and thick darkness,

  (Zeph 1:15)

The Lord who makes

 the storm clouds….

(Zechariah 10:1)

He bowed the heavens and came down;

thick darkness 

was under His feet.

He rode on the cherub and flew;

He came swiftly on the wings of the wind.

He made

darkness His covering,

 His canopy around Him,

thick clouds dark with water. 

(Psalm 18:9-11)

Also note these verses:

A flooding rain 

will come and you,

O hailstones, will fall and a

violent wind will break out.

Therefore, thus says the Lord God,

 I will make a

violent wind break out in My wrath. 

There will also be in My anger

 a flooding rain

 and

hailstones to consume it

in wrath.

(Ezekiel 13:11, 13)

Jesus, I know when I share this dream and prophetic interpretation, many will discard it and say it will not happen to America or they will say Rich has a nice imagination, or this is not from the Lord. Dear reader, let me remind you, I am just a mailperson delivering the Word of the Lord.

But, Lord, I ask that you make this prophetic word real to those who read it and that they would get prepared in their own spiritual lives and take seriously your displeasure with America and your stern judgment to come and begin to pray fervently for this nation.  In Your name, Amen.
