A Giant Step
In The Land
a dream shared by Suzin McNeill
The WORD Of The LORD
I felt the shaking and heard the
sounding of the movement before I saw the sandled foot stepping on
mountains crushing them under His feet. New moutains were made as His
foot displaced old ones. He stepped with both strength and purpose. It
was as if a giant foot was sent
to crush the land. The
wind from His movement came, then the shaking, then the stepping. Each
time the wind would come before His movements. Each time He stepped all
things were shaken that could be shaken. Many people and things were
buried as He stepped upon the land. He plowed the earth with each
step and the displacement of the dirt buried many. Each time the wind
would come from His slightest movements. I watched closely and
questioned why the people did not hear
the wind sounding and move before He stepped. Warning was given in the
wind
that gave sufficient time to move into safety, yet there were few that
actually
listened.
Isaiah 42
9) Behold, the
former
things are come to pass, and new things do I declare: before they
spring forth
I tell you of them.
Isaiah 41
21) Be ready to
produce your cause saith the LORD; bring forth your strong
reasons, saith the King of Jacob.
22)
Let them bring
them forth,
and shew us what shall happen: let them shew the former things, what
they
be, that we may consider them, and know the latter end of them; or
declare us things for to come.
23)
Shew the things
that are to come hereafter, that we may know that ye are gods: yea, do
good, or do evil, that we may be dismayed, and behold it together.
Isaiah 48
3) I have declared the
former things from the beginning; and they went forth out of my mouth,
and I shewed them; I did them suddenly, and they came to pass.
The WORD
of The
LORD
Once
again you have
heard and seen My footsteps even before they were made manifest. It is my promise to
those who walk closest to Me. My footsteps are holy and those who hear and
seek Me will never
fall beneath them. I send warning and cause My prophets and
intercessors to cry out. I send the wind of My Holy Spirit to
bear witness of the coming turmoil. Where shall My people find rest?
Where shall My people be found in
safety as My steps upon this earth devastate? It is quiet, the quiet
before the storm that will bring violent changes to this earth.
There will be
devastation on one side, and there will be hiding places in the rocks
for those who quickly turn at My reproofs. There are coming footsteps
... that even the natural man will see. There will be both devastation
and glory.
It is but a short
moment before My steps are revealed. It is time to draw near to Me and
and time to
hear My prophets that I have set among you. Hear ye them for they
will
sound out alarms that only My people, Israel are tuned to hear. Ensigns
shall
arise that will cry peace rather than warning. Peace shall not come
except
in the secret places of my keeping. I will make ways where there are no
ways.
I am the Rock in which you shall be hidden. I will speak doors of
opportunity
open before you knock.
I will send warnings
in the wind and leadership for guidance. Be careful of the voices you
follow. My prophets send warning for the days of devastation are open
before them. It is but a short moment, before My foot steps upon
the high places of men and with these steps My people,
Israel will know that My
glory, is but a footstep away. Come unto Me and hear My voice crying in
the seas of humanity for I, The LORD love judgment and it's time is
here.
selah.
Psalm 17
5) Hold up my goings in
thy paths, that my footsteps slip not.
Psalm 89
50) Remember, Lord, the
reproach of thy servants; how I do bear in my bosom the reproach of all
the mighty people;
51) Wherewith thine
enemies have reproached, O LORD; wherewith they have reproached the
footsteps of
thine anointed.
52) Blessed be the LORD
for evermore. Amen, and Amen.
Psalm 17
6) I have called upon
thee, for thou wilt hear me, O God: incline thine ear unto me, and
hear my
speech.
7) Shew thy marvellous
lovingkindness, O thou that savest by thy right hand them which put
their trust in thee
from those that rise up against them.
8) Keep me as the apple
of the eye, hide me under the shadow of thy wings,
9) From the wicked that
oppress me, from my deadly enemies, who compass me about.
10) They are inclosed in
their own fat: with their mouth they speak proudly.
11) They have now
compassed us in our steps: they have set their eyes bowing down to the
earth;
12) Like as a lion that
is greedy of his prey, and as it were a young lion lurking in secret
places.
13) Arise, O LORD,
disappoint him, cast him down: deliver my soul from the wicked, which
is thy sword:
14) From men which are
thy hand, O LORD, from men of the world, which have their portion in
this life, and whose belly thou fillest with thy hidden treasure: they
are full of children, and leave the rest of their substance to their
babes.
15) As for me, I will
behold thy face in righteousness: I shall be satisfied, when I awake,
with thy
likeness.
Blessed
be the
LORD for
evermore. Amen, and Amen.
WORD
STUDY
STEP
A. Noun.
pa`am ^6471^, "step; foot;
hoofbeats;
pedestal; stroke; anvil." This noun's attested cognates appear in
Ugaritic (pcn) and Phoenician. Biblical occurrences of this word number
about 117 and appear in every period of the language. The nuances of
this word are related to the
basic meaning "a human foot." The psalmist uses this meaning in <Ps.
58:10>:
"The righteous shall rejoice when he seeth the vengeance: he shall wash
his
feet in the blood of the wicked." In <Exod. 25:12> the word
is applied
to the "pedestals or feet" of the ark of the covenant: "And thou
shalt
cast four rings of gold for it, and put them in the four [feet]
thereof;
and two rings shall be in the one side of it, and two rings in the
other
side of it." Elsewhere the word signifies the "steps" one takes, or
"footsteps":
"Hold up my goings in thy paths, that my footsteps slip not" <Ps.
17:5>.
<Judg. 5:28> applies the word to the "steps" of a galloping
horse,
or its hoofbeats. This focus on the falling of a foot once is
extended
to the "stroke" of a spear: "Then said Abishai to David,... let me pin
him
to the earth with one stroke of the spear..." <1 Sam. 26:8>, RSV.
Finally,
pa`am represents a footshaped object, an "anvil" <Isa. 41:7>.
B. Adverb. pa'am ^6471^, "once;
now;
anymore." This word functions as an adverb with the focus on an
occurrence or time. In <Exod. 10:17> the word bears this
emphasis: "Now therefore forgive, I pray thee, my sin only this once,
and entreat the Lord your God...." The first biblical appearance of the
word focuses on the finality, the absoluteness, of an event:
"This is now bone of my bones..." <Gen. 2:23>. The thrust of this
meaning appears clearly in the translation of <Gen. 18:32>--
Abraham said to God: "Oh, let not the Lord be angry, and I will speak
yet but this once [only one more time]...."
