Dream 24
I am under Michael’s calf, looking out over the rocky river in front of me.
Builder:
“All who govern enforce the law, work in business, and serve in places of authority must heed this vision.”
Uriel joins us.
Uriel:
You must awake for a time and read the book of Daniel. Your memory of the events is not sufficient. Daniel is of great import for you to understand what is to come. There are to be many Daniels among both the sons of sorrow and the sons of the Oasis. They are a great frustration to the fallen Angels. Know this:
Daniel was of such hindrance to the plan of the enemy that even the recording of history was changed in an attempt to remove any memory of him. Wake now son of sorrow. Read the book of Daniel and we shall continue our conversation.
I wake up.
It is 02:14 and I am wide awake. Two hours of sleep. I grumble a bit about having to wake up early to drive to the city but quickly read through the book of Daniel and fall asleep immediately.
Uriel and I stand in the courtyard of a newly built hall that seems to be built out of nice cut blocks of rock. I marvel at the size of each individual block and wonder how much sweat and effort it must have taken to
get that heavy looking thing that high up.
A group of men sit around a large wooden table with bronze (or gold) trimmings and discussing someone called Belteshazzar. Their concerns are serious. His way of doing things is bound to expose their system of bribes and cronyism. These are respected elders in the kingdom but they sound more like a group of gangsters. Their major concern is the fallout on their families if their corruption is exposed. The conversation has a sense of urgency and it seems that there are a lot more beyond this room who benefit in a very big way from their devious activities.
Belteshazzar has been implementing systems of transparency and accountability and really seems to care about the welfare of the people. They classify him as someone who does not have a grip on reality. Under
Nebuchadnezzar, Belteshazzar had risen to incredible favor, influence and power and now the new king, Darius, immediately recognizes his integrity and has him going around all the kingdoms instituting practices that will surely expose corruption.
Many heads are going to roll if something is not done.
Letters are written and meetings are held. All this time, Daniel, who is almost eighty years old, is becoming like a father to King Darius.
Eventually at a special event where all the governors and princes are together in one place, they make their move. The conspirators have concocted and idea that will have any who don’t go along with it look disloyal. They present the King with an edict to sign.
First they flatter him with their unanimous agreement on his greatness and say that everyone in the kingdom should honor him as they do. The edict says that no-one can pray to any god but Darius for 30 days. Like Nebuchadnezzar before him, Darius allows his ego to control him and he signs that edict in
front of everyone. All who disobey it will be thrown to the Lions.
Belteshazzar who is actually Daniel is fully aware of the consequences but it is his habit to pray three times a day with his face towards Jerusalem. So he heads home, opens all his windows and curtains so that everyone can see him and prays.
Obviously the conspirators have been watching his house. So they report it immediately. King Darius is devastated. Signing the decree was a whole ‘caught up in the moment’ thing. The last thing in the world he wants is to lose the old man.
Darius is a young man and has really taken to the pure heart and pure ways of Belteshazzar (Daniel).
Unfortunately, he cannot reverse an edict without losing his authority and the conspirators, all high ranking leaders in the nation, are pressurizing him to keep his word. He does everything he can to reverse the edict, even sacrificing sleep that night to go through current law but to no avail. He is bound to the law and must throw his friend to the Lions.
This upsets him greatly but even as Daniel is about to be thrown into that cave below their feet, Darius acknowledges a power greater than himself. He says these words “Your God, whom you always serve, will deliver you”. As is the law, Daniel is swung by his hands and feet and dropped so that he is wounded when he lands at the bottom. This doesn’t work though because he just gets up and dusts himself off. He looks up while they cover the hole above him and is alone in the darkness with prowling and growling noises. We are down there in the dark with him and nothing happens. The pride of Lions are specifically starved for these kinds of things. I can’t see a thing.
There is no source of light whatsoever but the Lions seem to be sleeping around us or lazily moving around, oblivious to Daniel’s presence.
We are with Darius. He is fretting and pacing, absolutely furious at being caught up in this scheme. He has no desire for food, even going so far as to swipe his food away, sending it crashing to the floor and is short tempered with the servants while they clean up the mess.
He can’t even sleep. He basically waits for morning, all the while getting more and more agitated as he puts two and two together that this whole thing was a plot to get rid of Daniel. The whole night he talks out loud, cries in frustration and even prays to Daniel’s God. This is the impact that Daniel has had on him. He feels like he has been led into a trap to betray his own father by a pack of rats.
When the early morning comes, he rushes down to the den, still in his gown.
He fears the worst but holds on to hope. The guards open the door in the cavern roof and Darius looks down into the pit. He can’t see Daniel so he shouts: “Daniel! Has your God whom you serve so well per chance rescued you from the Lions?”
He feel crazy just saying those words and is pretty sure the guards and nobles around him will spread the news of the King in a gown shouting into a Lion’s den. But when Daniel answers Darius has to fight for the very emotion to not start crying. He turns to the guards, “Get him out of there immediately!”
The guards snap to it. Daniel isn’t even properly out of the pit when Darius starts furiously screaming, ordering for every single conspirator and their entire family to be brought and thrown into the dens. He then sent out a decree that all men in the entire empire should dread the God of Daniel.
Uriel:
“Even as corruption flourished under Nebuchadnezzar it flourishes now in the kingdoms of the world. Resource is allocated to war, not peace. Even resources allocated to good works rarely arrive where they are intended. For those under the thrall of mammon justify their plunder with selfish hearts.
Even in the Kingdom of God do they ask in the name of the hungry and of the children and of the Kingdom but wastefully spend the storehouse wealth on vain luxuries, justifying their plunder with selfish hearts.
Rejoice son of sorrow! For now comes a time when power shall be in the hands of those who are as Darius. They are princes in this world who are of this world and the economy of mammon but desire to have what the kingdom of God offers even though they cannot see it. And here shall the Daniels rise to become advisors and as fathers of this world grow weary of the schemes of the devil and his son mammon. And this world hungers for accountability and transparency.
But many who have established for themselves power in the time of their Nebuchadnezzar will scheme and plot the downfall of these Daniels so that they may hold the ear of Darius.”
Gatherer:
“To all who walk in the spirit of Daniel: Do not hide your faith and do not back down from accountability and transparency. Be a good friend and mentor to your Darius and serve him well for you are positioned well to assist him in bringing righteousness to your nation.
Serve God with open windows and open doors. Do not hide your light. Shine brightly so that all those who scuttle in the shadows are exposed. At times you may need to suffer great persecution so that the chaff may be exposed.
Do not be foolish in sharing God with others as if He were a religion, but be a living testimony of the Father heart of God. For you are not sent to make a spectacle for the sake of spectacle. You are sent to bring righteousness and uproot the spirit of mammon by drawing all to the words of the Son of God. By this shall the world know that we belong to Him, that we love one another. But to love as the Father loves and to love as the world loves are two different things. For to love as the Father loves is to be the word manifest as the son is the word manifest.
Can you love the world enough to die so that it may come to know the love of the Father? Could you sacrifice yourself so that your enemy may be saved?
Can you even lay down your temper in the face of injustice? Again do I tell you, with man this is impossible but with God are all things possible for when you die to all you are and become one with every word spoken by the Son shall you truly be able to walk in the power of the Holy Spirit. But first must you die to the world and be alive in Christ. For Christ is the word and every word that proceeds from His mouth is the way, the truth and the life.
Lay your life down and become one as we are one. There is not one atom or one Archangel that does not contain the word of the Father, and inside of every molecule in every man can you find the word, waiting to move from contestation to confirmation. And when you walk into confirmation do you become the kingdom. For those who are the kingdom know that there is only the kingdom. For the kingdom is one as we are one and we are in the kingdom and of the kingdom and for the kingdom. To build any other thing is to contend against every atom within you.
Know this: Absent unity with the word can you not truly love. All outside the word is counterfeit. And Daniel walked with God, one in heart. For Daniel was there only the kingdom. Unto possible death did he live for the kingdom, by the rules of the kingdom and one with the kingdom.
Heed now well the words of Builder for now the revelation shall come:”
Builder
“As with King Darius does this generation called the harvest (known to you as millennials and their children) tire of the kingdom of mammon and its lies. They hunger for men who would guide and serve them as Daniel guided and served Darius.
Hear well elders: These are not yours to command. These are not yours to control. Lead them to the word, lead them to the Lamb and lead them to the Father ONLY. For this generation is not like the previous generations who needed signs and wonders. They seek the God who will bring peace upon this earth and care not for miracles and tricks. For this generation is there only love, justice and righteousness. Lead them not into tribal denominationalism or cultural religion. Lead them to the words of the son.
Lead them to the power of the Holy Spirit. They are a tidal wave that will sweep this world in righteousness if you are obedient to become one and set aside your fear of rejection.
Come together for the sake of the harvest so that they may see the word made manifest in how you love one another.
Absent love is every miracle worthless. Absent love is every good work worthless. If you love not one another you love neither son nor Father and are not of the kingdom. Do not abuse this costly grace that was shed for you. Lay down your life elder. What is there to prove in the kingdom that does not make you sound like the world? If you love only those who love you, you are no different from the world. Move from saved to bended knee. The time has come for you to repent and to move from arrogance to servanthood.
Assert not your seniority over this generation lest they despise you for it. Be as Daniel. Enter the Lion’s den even though Darius sent you and love him still when you come out. For you rejoice at the miracle in the Lion’s den but the Father rejoices at the salvation of King Darius.
Rejoice and hound less after miracles and signs. This is the way of the wicked who act like God exists to serve them. Rejoice at the salvation of this generation and throw thyself deep into love. So deep that you lose who you are. You should be no more. And your power and authority in old military structures should be no more. Keep rank without enforcing it. For Israel expected an army commander but received a servant. They expected a Lion and received a Lamb.
Come forth ye Daniels. This generation cries out for you. Save them to serve them. Lead them in wisdom and be both friend and Father. Without leading them to the words of Christ and THE Father is this impossible.
In business, ministry, entertainment and many other places shall you find these young Darius’s who change the world over social media and more. Do not condemn them and so misrepresent the love of the Father astray for such behavior will lead to things that will make you wish you were cast into a moat with a millstone tied around your neck.
For many of you have become so accustomed to the counterfeit power of your own voice that you have forgotten the true power of the voice of the Father.
And when the voice of the Father speaks through your lips does unconditional love flow. For he is not bent with your frustrations but desires that none should perish. Bring them into confirmation with the word. Do it with love, free from condemnation for the Son did not come to condemn the world but to save it.
When the revelation of the words of the Son are written upon their spirits, then shall they shed the immorality and foolishness. Your judgment and rejection of those you consider unclean is both ungodly and, in some cases, eternally damaging. Do everything in the father’s love. Yours is not enough. Be one as we are one. Be one with the Father as we are one with the Father. Love the unlovable and lead them to the truth in the goodness of God.
Some of you have begun to rejoice in your own righteousness and gather around plotting the fall of Darius. Do not act like whitewashed tombstones, polished above and rotting below. For love is not self-seeking and love keeps no record of wrongs. Love says ‘what can I do for you?’ – not ‘change for me so that I may love you’. This the way of the deceiver, not the way of the Father.
Now many will read this admonishing and think of someone else, agreeing and nodding your head. Careful; lest you become what you judge for you know not the pain of disappointment in being betrayed as many times as these Daniels who tire of good works. Love them, forgive them, lift their tired arms and cover their sins. Have you laboured as hard as they and walked as long a path as they? Even having done both as they should you love unconditionally. These things are truly impossible with man. But come into confirmation with the word and nothing shall be impossible for you. Ask daily that the Holy Spirit would move your mouth and that the words of the son would be upon your lips and that the love and authority of the Father would be upon every word. Be a Daniel to every Darius in your life. Spare not one cent and not one hug. Make them earn nothing but be as the Father filled with unconditional grace and forgiveness as with the prodigal son. Promote them in their talents and trust that the Father knows what he is doing. Cause their hearts to engrave the words of the son upon their spirits. Do this and let them lose. For this generation will be wiser than their teachers and wiser than their elders for the Holy Spirit himself shall teach them. Lead them to the words of the son and all else is ordered. For now is the time of the harvest.
Gatherer:
“Son of sorrow. The time of Nebuchadnezzar is over. Now comes the time of Darius. And now shall both believer and non-believer come to know the beginning of wisdom which is the fear of God.
Your window is 17 years, 7 months and 7 days from the laying of the first stone. All of heaven is now mobilized for this, the great harvest. For if you do not bring this generation into the kingdom, their children shall be as the sons of Eli. Bleed every drop of blood if you must. You are chosen to deliver this message because the kingdom is all to you.
Bleed if you must. Cry if you must. Do not suggest unity; COMMAND it!
NONE must perish son of sorrow. Not a single one. The Father’s heart yearns for this. Bring them into unity with the word in prayer and songs of thanksgiving.
Will you pay the sacrifice and become nothing? Will you forget every ambition and pay this price?
Me:
“I gladly pay. With every molecule of all I am.”
I wake up.
I am overwhelmed with gratefulness that our generation is alive in this time. The time of the great harvest for which the process started in 1933 and has a great culmination in 2033 (according to these dreams). I am committed with all that I am. It is time to bring heaven to earth.
We call in the money, we call in manpower. We have our instructions.
Will you pay the price?
