VISION- The KILLING of the BULL
Posted by: prophetic <prophetic@...>
-by Bob Neumann. (1998).
I was standing in that place of relativeness that Isaiah called the
valley of Vision. When I was aware of this fact I saw a figure who
was waiting for me, so to speak. As before HE was dressed in
traveling attire, a heavy full cloak with a hood. Unlike the times I
have seen my MASTER, the LORD OF HOSTS dressed this way,
I too seemed to be wearing the same hooded cloak.
As I came to HIM HE nodded HIS HEAD and turned and walked
with me just at and behind HIS left shoulder. We walked quickly
and with both purpose and intent till we seemed to enter a much
wider and open area. When HE stopped, HE made a half turn
toward me and calmly stated: "YOU MUST KNOW WHAT IS
ABOUT TO TAKE PLACE". HE turned HIS HEAD and looked out
into the center of this space and there stood this large Texas
Longhorn type 'bull'. Exactly what you would see at UTexas
football games or on commercials for the stock market. Its horns
were wide and came to quite impressive points. It stood still in the
center of a circle of light as a 'spot light' would cause. "THIS IS
THE TRUE GOD OF AMERICA,'' stated my MASTER.
Slowly the 'bull' began to move and the spotlight moved with 'him';
wherever the 'bull' moved the spotlight moved with 'him'. Every
now and then it seemed to move suddenly and strike a pose.
''AND THAT IS HOW IT HAS BEEN'', stated the LORD, "BUT
THIS IS HOW IT NOW IS...." As the 'bull' stood still the light
began to move away from 'him' the 'bull' would move to get back
into the light. Each time the light moved farther and the 'bull' had
to move farther and faster to stay in the light. Now it seemed the
'bull' was chasing the light and never really catching it.
By this time I had a good idea that we were standing inside an
arena like area and there were ''figures'' on the edges of the area
but I couldn't distinguish anything besides shadow-figures. "NOW
YOU MUST SEE WHAT HAS HAPPENED AND WHAT WILL
QUICKLY COME TO PASS..." The 'bull' stood again in the center
of the arena and the light was on 'him'. For the first time I noticed
a large figure standing across from where we stood, staring at the
'bull'. In size and shape he was identical to MY CAPTAIN but a
''shadow-figure'' and I knew it was the 'BEAST'. As I turned to
THE LORD with questions running through my mind/spirit HE lifted
HIS RIGHT HAND and everything froze, time/space/eternity,
everything stopped dead so to speak. With a casual move HE
brushed back HIS HOOD and I once again looked into the FACE
of my KING. With a half smile and a slight turn of HIS HEAD HE
slapped me on the shoulder and explained. "ONCE MY PEOPLE
BUILT AN IMAGE of a CALF OF GOLD to WORSHIP. AMERICA
has ALLOWED THAT CALF to GROW UP AND REPRESENT
ALL THAT it WORSHIPS.''
Suddenly I felt something in my right hand and I looked and saw
some coins. "WHOSE IMAGE DO YOU SEE?", HE asked. As I
looked into my hand and saw a nickel, a quarter, and a coin that
looked like gold and a coin that looked like silver. All I could think
was "it isn't you LORD". "THEN WHAT DOES IT SAY?" HE asked
gently. I replied "IN GOD WE TRUST" As HE turned toward the
"bull'' in the light HE explained. "MAN CAN NOT SERVE TWO
MASTERS. YOUR PEOPLE CHOSE to SERVE MAMMON and
NOT ME. THE RELIGIOUS IMAGES in YOUR HAND DECLARE
to the WORLD THEIR TRUST is IN THEIR GOD. HAVE YOU
NOTICED THEIR GOD?'' With that we turned and walked to the
'bull'. And 'he' began again to move. It seemed to notice our
approach and ignored us. I looked and was wondering what I was
supposed to be looking for. For some reason I began to stare at
its nose and couldn't figure it out. "THIS IS an ANIMAL THAT
HAS NOT been TAMED. IT RUNS WHERE it CHOOSES AND
CAN NOT be CONTROLLED''. With that I had an image of a nose
ring, where you would lead a 'bull'. "THEIR GOD IS NOT
CONTROLLED as THEY WOULD LIKE IT to BE. SO THEY
WILL CHANGE it SOON. BUT HAVE YOU NOTICED ANYTHING
WRONG with THEIR BULL?'' Now I really had to wonder and I
began to walk around it when it responded to nature and released
a couple gallons of urine and a very large 'patty'. The animal had
no concern where it hit when it splattered. And it stood in a good
scattering of similar stuff. But with the 'deposit' I got a good look at
the posterior and realized it really wasn't a bull after all. Just a
'steer'. "THE LIE GOES FAR BEYOND Who THEIR GOD IS. BUT
EVEN THEN Their IDOL CAN NOT EVEN DO WHAT They
SEEK THE MOST, REPRODUCE ITSELF. THAT IS the LIE
THAT WILL BRING THE DESTRUCTION of YOUR COUNTRY.
YOU TOLD THE NATIONS and PRINCES OF THIS WORLD IF
THEY DRANK From YOUR CUP and WORSHIPPED YOUR
IDOL it WOULD REPRODUCE ITSELF. BUT YOUR LEADERS
KNEW THAT it COULD NOT AND TOOK ALL the WEALTH IT
COULD FROM THOSE WHO BELIEVED Their LIES, DREAMS,
AND VISIONS. NOW THEY Will STRIKE AT YOU THROUGH
YOUR GOD." With that statement HE turned away and returned
to our place of observation. And as it seemed appropriate, I
dropped the coins in the fresh patty near my feet and took my
place at his side.
As easily as time stopped, it began again. The 'beast' came
closer to the steer. The steer shied away. It did not challenge and
paw the ground like you see in bullfights, another confirmation
that it was not a 'bull'. Suddenly the spotlight disappeared and the
'arena' was now seen. The shadow figures filled the arena's seats,
all sizes and shapes. As I stood watching, the sense of
anticipation and imminence grew. All of a sudden, a roar of
trumpets blared a long 'musical' fanfare and as it ended the 'bull'
was 'struck' and reeled backward and as the 'cheers' of the 'crowd'
arose it steadied its feet and shook its head to 'clear the
cobwebs'. We waited again. and without warning the 'trumpet
fanfare' began. It was louder and lasted longer, and as it ended, the
'bull' jerked to its side and again the cheer rang up. Now four long
deep gashes appeared on each flank and blood began to flow.
Now the wait was shorter and I began to count. Again the third
fanfare and cheers were louder and longer as again the 'bull' was
struck backward and nearly fell off its feet. The fourth assault left
laceration across all four legs. The fifth assault pushed its head
down and as it fell to its knees it's whole body began to tremor
and shake. As it came to it's feet again blood flowed from its
nostrils and pink foaming from the mouth and I thought 'mad cow
disease'. The sixth assault came with no waiting period and this
time it was struck backward with such force it was knocked off its
feet and slid backward in its excrement. This time the 'bull'
struggled to get up and it was obvious a rear leg was broken. As
the seventh fanfare began shadows charged out into the arena and
took hold of the 'bull' and turned it on its back and held it down.
I noticed the beast come forward with a short slim sword in its
hand. And as the fanfare ended he slashed the 'bull's' neck and as
the cheers went up small black critters in unbelievable numbers
ran out to drink the blood. As the cheer ended the eighth fanfare
began and the beast slashed the belly of the bull from top to
bottom. As the disembowelment occurred the cheers began and
many large critters began to feed on the entrails. The ninth fanfare
and cheer came as the head was severed from the carcass as the
carcass was drawn and quartered. And immediately a short tenth
fanfare and cheer came as the critters ran off in four different
directions, each with a chunk of meat. At this point I noticed the
eyes just now glaze over as the bull/steer/america finally dies after
all this brutal treatment; awake and aware of all that took place.
As the scene completely vanished we turned around and this time
slowly retraced our steps. As we walked THE LORD explained
what I had witnessed. ''SEVEN BLOWS WILL BE GIVEN BUT
TEN JUDGMENTS ARE RESERVED FOR EGYPT. SEVEN
BLOWS WILL BRING DOWN THE IDOL OF AMERICA. THE
FIRST TWO HAVE STUCK AND YOUR COUNTRY BLEEDS.
THE FIRST WAS A BLOW THAT DROVE YOUR GOD
BACKWARD, BUT IT CAME BACK A BIT. THE SECOND BLOW
CUT DEEPLY INTO ITS LOINS AND WEAKENED ITS
STRONGEST POINTS. THE THIRD BLOW WILL COME SHORTLY
AND WILL STRIKE IT BACKWARD AND IT WILL NOT RECOVER
ITS LOST GROUND. THE FOURTH BLOW WILL NOW DESTROY
ITS ABILITY TO MOVE AND EVADE THE NEXT BLOW WHICH
WILL BE A PESTILENCE FROM A FOE YOU DID NOT EXPECT.
THAT IS THE FIFTH AND DECIDING BLOW. THE SIXTH BLOW
WILL CRIPPLE YOUR IDOL AND DELIVER IT TO THE BEAST
FOR DEVOURING. THE SEVENTH BLOW IS THE DEATH BLOW.
YET THE EIGHTH, NINTH, AND TENTH THAT WILL STRIP,
DIVIDE, AND DEVOUR WILL BE THE NOURISHMENT NEEDED
TO EMPOWER THE BEAST FOR THE SHORT TIME HE HAS
LEFT.'' At this point we stopped and HE faced me and once again
placed the HOOD over HIS HEAD. "THAT IS WHY I SENT YOU
TO GOSHEN FOR I HAVE A REMNANT EVEN IN EGYPT. IN
THE HEART OF BABYLON I CALLED TO THEM AND THOSE
WHO KNOW MY VOICE HEARD AND CAME OUT. BUT IN
EGYPT THEY ARE IN BONDAGE AND I SEND MY SERVANTS
TO THEM TILL THE INDIGNATION IS PASSED AND THE
PLAGUES HAVE FALLEN UPON THOSE WHO HAVE
HARDENED THEIR HEARTS.'' ''IT'S GOING TO BE ALL RIGHT'',
He laughed as he gripped my shoulder. "YOU KNOW WHAT WILL
NEED TO BE DONE AND YOU WILL DO IT. THERE ARE MANY
WHO WILL FIND SAFETY IN THE MIDST OF THE STORM AND
THE DARKEST OF THE NIGHT. GUARD MY SHEEP, OLD DOG,
A LITTLE WHILE LONGER''. and it ended.
