I was standing here on the platform this morning, sometime during the praise and worship, and I had a little vision, an experience with the Lord. And it was only a few seconds, but it really left me jittery all day long, just kind of nervous.
I cannot tell you what I saw because I don’t know what I saw. Somebody said, “Well that don’t sound much like a vision.” Well, it was. I know for sure it was a vision.
I’ve only shared it with one person this afternoon. And I said, “I don’t know how to describe it. It was more abstract. It kind of reminds me of Jewish art. It was just kind of abstract. You’ve got to kind of figure out what it was.”
It wasn’t something so clear and so plain. But very, very quickly I just saw clouds moving, it looked like clouds moving very fast. And they were not moving as though all were going in the same direction or blowing this way or blowing that way or up or down. There just seemed to be a wind in these clouds and they were just spinning.
And the thing that I noticed the most was this low roaring thunder sound that lasted the entire few frames or seconds of the vision. And it sounded like it was a long way away, getting just slightly louder. But it never ceased or stopped until the picture was gone. It sounded like it was coming from far away, just roaring almost like a train, but I felt like it was thunder because it had almost syllables in it, fluctuations of influx in the sound.
And then in the midst of all those clouds that were moving around, I saw flashes of colored lights. Not just one light or just clear light or white light, but flashes of lights like the colors of a rainbow flashing all around in flashes like a flash on a camera.
And in the distance behind that, behind those clouds that were moving and those colored flashing lights, behind that I saw the entire picture would flash like heat lightening. Not that streaked lightening like this, but like heat lightening that just lights up the sky and it’s gone.
Now that is strange. And I wouldn’t even share it because what good does it do if you don’t know what it was? But I know it wasn’t my imagination. I’ve had enough visions to know when a vision’s breaking.
But all of a sudden… It was not a voice that I heard, it was a knowing. I just knew it. It was like I had had a revelation or an inspiration or I had known something all along and now it just come out. And it was very clear to me.
Without yet knowing what this picture means, I just knew it in the Spirit. And I’ll just try to express it with an explanation instead of word for word. I just all of a sudden knew where we were standing. I just all of a sudden knew that we were now standing in that place between the Seals and the Trumpets. And I just knew in the Spirit that we were standing in the place of the Seven Thunders. I knew that’s where we were standing. And in my spirit I sensed that they were like a bridge connecting the Seals and the Trumpets.
Somebody said, “So far I don’t have any idea what you’re talking about.” I’ll just make it plainer. I believe that we are standing in the hour where God is about to make clear to us what John could not tell.
