One more thing, yes she received this dream on 12/5 at 4:29 PM, but she was too busy to post it publicly until after midnight. That could be the Lord's sovereignty. Think about that, she posted this right after midnight on 12/6 giving us the maximum amount of warning if it is referring to 12/7 the anniversary of Pearl Harbor.

Luke 6:13 And when it was day, he called unto him his disciples: and of them he chose twelve, whom also he named apostles; 14 Simon, (whom he also named Peter,) and Andrew his brother, James and John, Philip and Bartholomew, 15 Matthew and Thomas, James the son of Alphaeus, and Simon called Zelotes, 16 And Judas the brother of James, and Judas Iscariot, which also was the traitor.
We know they were sent out two by two and this does not tell us that Judas was sent out with Judas Iscariot, but I thought it was interesting these two would be paired together. For example Matthew which writes the gospel to all the Jews to help them with their unbelief and see that Jesus is the Messiah was paired with Thomas who we call "doubting Thomas". Is that a coincidence or did his being paired with Doubting Thomas help him write to all those who were doubting.
Likewise we know (think) that Judas (not Iscariot) is not the one who wrote the book of Jude. However, imagine being paired with Judas Iscariot. Would that teach you how to discern and stand against the false prophet?
I can't help but think that each of these ones got a lot of help from their evangelism partner. I wonder what help Andrew gave Peter?
Mark 13:3b Andrew asked him privately, 4 Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign when all these things shall be fulfilled?
We know that Peter gives us special insight into the end times. Peter and Andrew were both casting nets when they were called, I think discussing the end times is a great net to catch unbelievers. James and John were both in the boat when they were called, so that is a focus on the church while Peter was focused on evangelism.
I find it very interesting that when Jesus went up into the mountain of transfiguration he took three apostles. Everyone can remember Peter since he puts his foot in his mouth, and you probably know that John also was taken, but so was James. It is amazing how James would be considered one of the three leading apostles and yet we never hear a peep out of him. Except they are called the sons of thunder. Does that mean they preached hell fire and brimstone? They also asked to sit on the right hand and left hand of Jesus in His kingdom and He told them they would drink the cup he drank and be baptized with the baptism that He was baptized with. Also the Lord took Peter, James and John with Him when he went to pray in the garden of Gethsemane. It actually appears that John was the sidekick to James, kind of like Kobe was the sidekick to Shaq initially.

Everyone talks about Love, but Mercy is a powerful expression of love
27 But I say unto you which hear, Love your enemies, do good to them which hate you,
28 Bless them that curse you, and pray for them which despitefully use you.
29 And unto him that smiteth thee on the one cheek offer also the other; and him that taketh away thy cloak forbid not to take thy coat also.
30 Give to every man that asketh of thee; and of him that taketh away thy goods ask them not again.
31 And as ye would that men should do to you, do ye also to them likewise.
32 For if ye love them which love you, what thank have ye? for sinners also love those that love them.
33 And if ye do good to them which do good to you, what thank have ye? for sinners also do even the same.
34 And if ye lend to them of whom ye hope to receive, what thank have ye? for sinners also lend to sinners, to receive as much again.
35 But love ye your enemies, and do good, and lend, hoping for nothing again; and your reward shall be great, and ye shall be the children of the Highest: for he is kind unto the unthankful and to the evil.
36 Be ye therefore merciful, as your Father also is merciful.
This is what will have the biggest impact on unbelievers, if we have mercy on them, since no one in Satan's kingdom is merciful.

The ruin of that house was great
Luke 6:47 Whosoever cometh to me, and heareth my sayings, and doeth them, I will shew you to whom he is like: 48 He is like a man which built an house, and digged deep, and laid the foundation on a rock: and when the flood arose, the stream beat vehemently upon that house, and could not shake it: for it was founded upon a rock. 49 But he that heareth, and doeth not, is like a man that without a foundation built an house upon the earth; against which the stream did beat vehemently, and immediately it fell; and the ruin of that house was great.
You don't see the wisdom until the storm comes. I saw a picture of an area where all the houses were gone except for one which seemed unharmed. I have also seen videos of houses floating down stream. The Lord has warned us. It is cheaper to just put your house on the earth rather than dig down to the rock. So for the same money you can build a house bigger, nicer and faster. This is also true of the church, if you simply bring in rock and roll singers, pretty up the verses a little, say stuff that will not put too much pressure on the congregation to actually do what Jesus said, then you can fill the church with people. Get your sermons from Reader's Digest or some other feel good story.
No one chooses the narrow way that is hard to find unless they appreciate how it is also the only way that leads to life.

God deals with us with mercy. If something terrible has happened to you, if someone sinned against you in a very big way, ask yourself, what about you? Perhaps there was a sin you committed and God wanted you to repent of that sin. Perhaps you didn't appreciate how much that sin would hurt others so what happened to you actually gave you empathy.
Do not say "O, my sin was only 1% of their sin". Instead understand you just took the on ramp to the highway that leads to that much bigger sin. Is that really where you want to go? The sooner you get off that highway and turn around the better.

3rd John is one of only two books in the New Testament that does not use the word Lord. However, in this book
3 For I rejoiced greatly, when the brethren came and testified of the truth that is in thee, even as thou walkest in the truth.
Jesus is the truth and it is in them and they are walking in it.
Also,
9 I wrote unto the church: but Diotrephes, who loveth to have the preeminence among them, receiveth us not. 10 Wherefore, if I come, I will remember his deeds which he doeth, prating against us with malicious words: and not content therewith, neither doth he himself receive the brethren, and forbiddeth them that would, and casteth them out of the church. 11 Beloved, follow not that which is evil, but that which is good. He that doeth good is of God: but he that doeth evil hath not seen God.
The Lord is exercising dominion through them.

In her NDE she asked God the Father why He allows all this evil on earth and He laughed and said it was all about love.
I think this needs more discussion because you hear many people ask this question, "if God is real why does He allow all this evil on earth?"
Let me begin with a personal experience of the Father's love. I have shared this experience before, but I think this will shine a light on the Father's love.
I was in the boyscouts, my dad was the new Scoutmaster and I was a patrol leader. Before the year started he called all the four patrol leaders to a special meeting where he made a list of all the kids the other three patrol leaders didn't want and that became my patrol. At first I was shocked, but then I realized I had won four awards with the boyscouts, two as the scout with the most points and two as the patrol with the most points and so this revealed behind the scenes people were saying that the whole thing was rigged for me to win because this year my dad was going to be scoutmaster and my best friend was going to be senior patrol leader. Also the two years I had won best patrol I had also had the kid who had won best scout, so it was reasonable to think I was getting the best kids and that isn't fair. But to make things worse one of the kids in my patrol was the younger brother of one of the other patrol leaders, so I knew he would tell him what happened and that all the kids would learn that no one wants them. And my mom said she was tired of having patrol meetings at our house so she also didn't want them to come to our house.
Now remember, this was an experience that I see as expressing God the Father's love and He orchestrated all of that.
At the end of the year that patrol also won best patrol and we also had the kid who won the award for best scout. That was by far the sweetest victory, not just for me, but for my parents and for the parents of all the kids in my patrol. They came to the awards ceremony at the barbecue and these were parents who never came to these events. Do you think God the Father is happy when people despise his children? I don't think so. The idea that they were saying "we don't want these kids" had to really irk Him and so this is what He is looking for. Isn't this what Jesus did when He said He didn't come for the healthy but those who were sick?
So then, why does a loving God allow terrible things to happen? It is because Jesus can turn the death waters to wine. It is because Jesus is the resurrection. It is because God loves all of us and many people have a hard time seeing that.

There are two plausible interpretations for "Satan flies tomorrow"
One of course is that we are talking about the next day. Even though she received this word on the fifth she was unable to post it until the sixth. As a result tomorrow would be the seventh (EST). That is plausible and with the current situation around Damascus it is certainly feeling like it is quite plausible.
However, there is a second equally valid interpretation. I have already pointed out that the interpretation of the Writing on the Wall sign was done this year. In that sign in Daniel it says that the same night Babylon was overthrown. If it were overthrown prior to midnight it would be the same day and if it were after midnight it would be tomorrow. I have also pointed out that from the perspective of the North Pole one day = one year. So what was the same day at Daniel's time could be the same year our time. For the North pole midnight is December 21 on the Winter solstice. So, if "Satan Flies" after December 21 that would also be seen as "tomorrow". I believe the fall of the USSR was a very big deal to Putin and a date he wants to mark, and N. Korea promised the US a Christmas present. So then I also think this is a very plausible understanding.
During her presentation she pointed out Tomorrow can be a vague reference to the future. I don't think the dream was meant to be a vague warning of impending nukes but a very clear and specific warning of an imminent attack.

The four horsemen of the Apocalypse
Suppose you are watching the Kentucky Derby, or Belmont, etc. In this race we have the four horsemen of the apocalypse. You have the White horse of the Antichrist with his lies and deceit appearing as an angel of light, you have the red horse of war, the black horse of famine and the pale green horse of the plague. They are all at the starting gate ready for the gun.
My point is this is not their first race. We have seen all these horses race before. This is the big race, but not the first. Think of the Pandemic as a qualifying race. We got to see their ability to lie, deceive and manipulate, a bioweapon is a weapon of war, the quarantine and shut down was setting the stage for a famine, and of course the millions that died from this died from a plague.
So even if you understand Revelation to be referring to the start of the 7 year tribulation, you should understand that as the big race, whereas all these horses have run in previous races. We have had two previous world wars, we have had numerous famines, lots of propaganda to the point that it is a science, and ever since WW2 the scientists have been working on bioweapons.

Why do Christians listen to really stupid advice?
Isaiah 41:4 Who hath wrought and done it, calling the generations from the beginning? I the Lord, the first, and with the last; I am he.
26 Who hath declared from the beginning, that we may know? and beforetime, that we may say, He is righteous? yea, there is none that sheweth, yea, there is none that declareth, yea, there is none that heareth your words.
Isaiah 46:9 Remember the former things of old: for I am God, and there is none else; I am God, and there is none like me, 10 Declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times the things that are not yet done, saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will do all my pleasure: 11 Calling a ravenous bird from the east, the man that executeth my counsel from a far country: yea, I have spoken it, I will also bring it to pass; I have purposed it, I will also do it.
Right now everyone in the world is concerned about what is going to happen. The Bible tells you that God has told you what will happen before it happens and not only that but it also tells you that no one else can do that. And yet, you have so called Christians advising other Christians to avoid Bible prophecy. The same people who freely admit they don't know what is going to happen are telling you to not read and meditate on the word of God even though God tells you that He is telling you what is going to happen.
Do you think it is a coincidence that at the same time they are advising Christians to not talk about Bible prophecy (approximately 25-33% of the Bible depending on whether or not you see pattern as prophecy), at the very same time churches are half empty? Peter was an evangelist and his gospel messages and epistles are filled with prophecy. Thessalonians was written to a church that had been been established 6 months at the most before Paul left and yet end times prophecy was the message he had shared with them.

Key principles in Bible ministry
Tom Brady shared that in his mind nothing good happens when he has the ball so his goal was to get it out of his hand as quickly as possible. In the same way I think when we share our goal should be to get the ball into the hands of the word of God as quickly as possible.
2 Corinthians 10:3 For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh:
Tom Brady is walking in the flesh, just as I am and you are. He is warring after the flesh, football is simply a physical game. But it is a shadow of the spiritual realm.
4 (For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds
He understood that everyone else on that offense was a weapon of warfare and everyone of them was better equipped at pulling down the strongholds. In the same way I view the writers of the New Testament as my team. I want to get the ball out of my hands and into the hands of Paul, or John, or Peter or James as quickly as possible.
5 Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;
You have a promise that the word of God will do that. Your opinion won't, your good idea won't, your logic and reasoning won't.
6 And having in a readiness to revenge all disobedience, when your obedience is fulfilled.
This has been a big question of mine, what is God waiting for? What is the hold up on Jesus' return? Simple, our obedience needs to be fulfilled first.

POWER AGAINST THE SPIRIT OF FEAR D.K. Olukoya Prayer Rain Job 3:25 •
CONFESSIONS I announce that greater is the One that is in me than any devil on the side of my enemies. It is written, “The righteous is as bold as a lion.” By my faith in Christ Jesus, I am righteous. I receive my divine boldness. The angels of the Lord encampeth round about them that fear Him. The angels of God are with me, I have no basis to fear any man, any evil, any evil spirit. Because the Lord of hosts is with me, I put my confidence in Him. It is written, “If God be for us, who can be against us?” God is with me, I have no reason to fear, in the name of Jesus. It is written, “The Lord is my light and my salvation whom shall I fear? The Lord is the defence of my life” of whom shall I be afraid? Though a host of demons encamp against me, my heart will not fear; though war rises against me, even in this I shall be confident. “The Lord is with me like a mighty terrible one. I am not afraid. I cannot be threatened. My persecutors shall stumble and fumble. Their everlasting confusion and disgrace shall never be forgotten. God has commanded me to fear not. Of the 365 days in a year, no single day is allowed for me to fear. So, I refuse to be afraid of anything. You spirit of fear, you are not in God’s agenda for me. I dismiss you from my life now in the name of Jesus Christ. Jesus said even the very hairs of my head are not only counted but numbered. Not one single strand can be removed without God’s knowledge and permission. Therefore, I put my confidence in the Lord, Who takes so much care of me.
The Holy Bible says whatsoever I desire when I pray, I should believe and receive, in the name of Jesus Christ. Therefore, I pray now that, in Jesus’ name, I am set free from every captivity or attack of negative speech from my mouth or thoughts from my heart against myself. Let the word of God that is quick, powerful and sharper than any two-edged sword pierce through every negative thought or speech I have ever made and tear them down. God wishes me above all things that I prosper, in Jesus’ name. I receive prosperity, in Jesus’ name. God has not given me the spirit of bondage again to fear. Therefore, every evil the spirit of fear has done to my life, I reject you. Be reversed and get out of my life. In Jesus’ name, I have the mind of Christ. I reject, refuse and bind negative thoughts and statements. Right now, I cast down every imagination and high thing exalting itself against the word of God in my life. My God is the Father of faith.
I ask and receive the faith in God to increase in my spirit, in my soul and in my body, in the name of Jesus. I totally trust in the Lord, and I am not leaning on my own understanding. I fill my heart with the words of faith, I receive and speak the words of faith. The perfect will of God for my life shall come to pass. I abide in the secret place of the most high God. He is my shelter and my refuge. Today, I begin to be what God says I am, and begin to walk in it, in the name of Jesus. I am a person of authority, power; dominion, grace and favour, in Jesus’ name. I can do all things through Christ Who strengthens me. I can run through a troop. I can leap over a wall. I can crush principalities and power under my feet. I can pursue, overtake and break the necks of my enemies. Henceforth, I refuse to live in fear, rather my fear and dread shall be upon all my enemies. As soon as they hear of me, they shall submit themselves unto me. My confession is from the word of God, therefore it standeth sure.
PRAISE WORSHIP Begin to bless the Lord, Who has comforted you on all sides and satisfied your mouth with good things. In the name of Jesus, I refuse to fear, because God has not given me the spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind. I bind the spirit of fear in my life, in the name of Jesus. Every power behind every activity of fear in my life, receive the wrath of God and be consumed in it, in the name of Jesus. Everything I have feared will not come upon me, in Jesus’ name. Everything I was afraid of will not come to me, in Jesus’ name. The local wickedness I have ever keen afraid of will not have a hold on me, in the name of Jesus. The evil obtainable in my family background will not have hold on me, in the name of Jesus. The evil everybody dreads in my family will not locate me, in the name of Jesus. The failure and disappointment in marriage will not manifest in my marriage, in the name of Jesus. The financial failure and embarrassment I have ever feared will not befall-me, in the name of Jesus. The fear of backsliding I have nursed or nurtured up in my life will not come upon me, in the name of Jesus. The fear of not being spiritually fulfilled will not germinate in my life, in the name of Jesus. Let the fear of being ministerially stunted get out of my vision, in the name of Jesus. Let the fear of committing unpardonable sin be washed out of me by the blood of Jesus. Let the fear of not being able to overcome any weakness in me dry to its roots, in the name of Jesus. Let the fear of missing the rapture go back to the bottom of the pit, in the name of Jesus. I bind and cast out every fear of compromising my faith, in the name of Jesus. I bind and cast out every fear of losing my anointing and salvation, in the name of Jesus. I break every evil covenant that has brought fear into my life, in the name of Jesus. I command every terror of the night that has brought fear into my life to stop and move from my environment, in the name of Jesus. You spirit of fear, loose your hold upon my life and my family, in the name of Jesus. I command all human agents using the spirits of fear to terrify me in the night to stumble and fall, in the name of Jesus. The fear and terror of the unbelievers shall not be my lot, in the name of Jesus. My tomorrow is blessed is Christ Jesus. Therefore, you spirit responsible for the fear of tomorrow in my life, I bind you, in the name of Jesus. My destiny is attached to God, therefore I decree that I can never fail, in the name of Jesus. Every bondage that I am subjecting myself to by the spirit of fear, I break you, in the name of Jesus. All negative doors that the spirit of fear have opened in the past, be closed now, in the name of Jesus. Every disease, oppression and depression that came into my life as a result of fear, disappear now, in the name of Jesus. I refuse to be intimidated by any demonic nightmare, in the name of Jesus. Every enchantment and invocation of-fear being made against me, I neutralise you and I command you to fail, in the name of Jesus. Every confederacy of the enemies in my home with the enemies outside shall not stand, in the name o f Jesus. All arrangements of the devil concerning my home shall not stand; neither shall they come to pass, in the name of Jesus. I destroy all efforts of the enemy to frustrate my work, in the name of Jesus. I nullify every writing, agreement or covenant against my work, in the name of Jesus. Father Lord, increase my greatness and comfort me on every side, in the name of Jesus. Lord, as You delight in my prosperity, I pray that You bless me indeed in my work. Let no household enemy be able to control my wellbeing any longer, in the name of Jesus. Let all those who are against me without a cause in my place of work turn back and be brought to confusion, in the name of Jesus. I close every door through which the enemies have been working against my work, in the name of Jesus. No weapon of satan and his agents fashioned against me shall prosper, in the name of Jesus. My life is hid with Christ in God. Therefore nobody can kill me or harm me, in the name of Jesus. I open wide all doors leading to my blessings, victory and breakthroughs which the enemies have closed, in Jesus’ name. Let every territorial spirit working against us in our neighbourhood be frustrated, bound and cast out, in the name of Jesus. Let every power contrary to the power of God operating to suppress people in my area be neutralised, in the name of Jesus.

Lord, get all my stubborn pursuers occupied with unprofitable assignments, in the name of Jesus. In Jesus Christ’s mighty name, I fire back every arrow, spiritual bullets and satanic missiles fired at me. O Lord, reveal the secrets and expose all my enemies masquerading as my friends. Father Lord, make it impossible for my enemies to use my foot marks, urine, feces, hair, clothing, and shoes.
CONFESSIONS I announce that greater is the One that is in me than any devil on the side of my enemies. It is written, “The righteous is as bold as a lion.” By my faith in Christ Jesus, I am righteous. I receive my divine boldness. The angels of the Lord encampeth round about them that fear Him. The angels of God are with me, I have no basis to fear any man, any evil, any evil spirit. Because the Lord of hosts is with me, I put my confidence in Him. It is written, “If God be for us, who can be against us?” God is with me, I have no reason to fear, in the name of Jesus. It is written, “The Lord is my light and my salvation whom shall I fear? The Lord is the defence of my life” of whom shall I be afraid? Though a host of demons encamp against me, my heart will not fear; though war rises against me, even in this I shall be confident. “The Lord is with me like a mighty terrible one. I am not afraid. I cannot be threatened. My persecutors shall stumble and fumble. Their everlasting confusion and disgrace shall never be forgotten. God has commanded me to fear not. Of the 365 days in a year, no single day is allowed for me to fear. So, I refuse to be afraid of anything. You spirit of fear, you are not in God’s agenda for me. I dismiss you from my life now in the name of Jesus Christ. Jesus said even the very hairs of my head are not only counted but numbered. Not one single strand can be removed without God’s knowledge and permission. Therefore, I put my confidence in the Lord, Who takes so much care of me.
The Holy Bible says whatsoever I desire when I pray, I should believe and receive, in the name of Jesus Christ. Therefore, I pray now that, in Jesus’ name, I am set free from every captivity or attack of negative speech from my mouth or thoughts from my heart against myself. Let the word of God that is quick, powerful and sharper than any two-edged sword pierce through every negative thought or speech I have ever made and tear them down. God wishes me above all things that I prosper, in Jesus’ name. I receive prosperity, in Jesus’ name. God has not given me the spirit of bondage again to fear. Therefore, every evil the spirit of fear has done to my life, I reject you. Be reversed and get out of my life. In Jesus’ name, I have the mind of Christ. I reject, refuse and bind negative thoughts and statements. Right now, I cast down every imagination and high thing exalting itself against the word of God in my life. My God is the Father of faith.
I ask and receive the faith in God to increase in my spirit, in my soul and in my body, in the name of Jesus. I totally trust in the Lord, and I am not leaning on my own understanding. I fill my heart with the words of faith, I receive and speak the words of faith. The perfect will of God for my life shall come to pass. I abide in the secret place of the most high God.

More principles in Bible ministry
Suppose you were on a basketball team with Michael Jordan, Scottie Pippen, Dennis Rodman and Kareem Abdul Jabbar. You might think that is a really great team. Sure, except you are the point guard. You are the weak link. The enemy is going to focus on you, so what do you do? Yes, you will be looking to pass as quickly as possible. But you can't just not play. If you do that then it will be five on four. You can be like Steve Kerr, MJ knew he was going to be double teamed and so dumped it off to Steve who took a wide open three. Each one of us should have a testimony. Be ready in season and out of season to share your testimony.
Colossians 1:15 Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature:
Second, understand that God needs us just as we need Him. God is invisible, we make Him visible. We need His redemption, His forgiveness and His blood and He needs us to make Him visible.
Ephesians 1:18 The eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that ye may know what is the hope of his calling, and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints,
On the one hand the fact that we can play on the same team as all the apostles is the hope of our calling, but we also need to see the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints. If you are the only one speaking God's word then Satan and his minions can focus all their attack on you. But if there is a second brother speaking you can cut the attack in half. If you can get 100 people speaking then the attack is only 1% of what it was. This is the problem with Christianity. They are clueless about the inheritance in the saints. All those people sitting in pews like specators, that is a huge waste of the talents the Lord has distributed in the body. I remember when the Patriots beat the Seahawks in the Superbowl. They had a rookie cornerback that the coach had really focused on, showing him how to defend a certain play. Sure enough, on their final drive the quarterback calls that play and that cornerback intercepts the ball in the end zone. That interception snatched victory from the jaws of defeat. We are in a team game, learn to appreciate all the brothers and sisters and the treasure each one of them has within them.

You can pray that the Lord would do great miracles
Luke 8:37 Then the whole multitude of the country of the Gadarenes round about besought him to depart from them; for they were taken with great fear: and he went up into the ship, and returned back again.
38 Now the man out of whom the devils were departed besought him that he might be with him: but Jesus sent him away, saying,
39 Return to thine own house, and shew how great things God hath done unto thee. And he went his way, and published throughout the whole city how great things Jesus had done unto him.
Here is an example of a great miracle, a legion of demons is cast out of this guy and at the same time they go into the pigs, the unclean business, and all the pigs rush into the lake and drown. However, if you pray for this all the people will be scared of Jesus. So then how will they hear the gospel? The flip side of this salvation is that the man in whom all the demons was cast out needs to be the one that brings the gospel to them. A great miracle is like a coin with two sides, the one side is the testimony about how you got saved and the other side is your testimony of how you then gave your life to the Lord.

I will Turn
Amos 8:10 And I will turn your feasts into mourning, and all your songs into lamentation; and I will bring up sackcloth upon all loins, and baldness upon every head; and I will make it as the mourning of an only son, and the end thereof as a bitter day.
When? During what feast of the Lord does He turn your songs into lamentations? That did happen at the crucifixion:
הָפַךְ hâphak, haw-fak'; a primitive root; to turn about or over; by implication, to change, overturn, return, pervert:—× become, change, come, be converted, give, make (a bed), overthrow (-turn), perverse, retire, tumble, turn (again, aside, back, to the contrary, every way).
First use:
Genesis 3:4 So he drove out the man; and he placed at the east of the garden of Eden Cherubims, and a flaming sword which turned every way, H2015 to keep the way of the tree of life.
The word was used to describe the overthrow of Sodom and Gomorrah, and to describe turning Moses rod into a serpent and turning the water into blood, and turning the wind that blew the locusts out of Eygpt.
Leviticus 13:3 And the priest shall look on the plague in the skin of the flesh: and when the hair in the plague is turned H2015 white, and the plague in sight be deeper than the skin of his flesh, it is a plague of leprosy: and the priest shall look on him, and pronounce him unclean.
Leprosy indicates rebellion and this word is used to indicate the moment some thought or action turns to become rebellion. It is also used to indicate the moment the plague of rebellion has been cleansed.
Deuteronomy 23:5 Nevertheless the LORD thy God would not hearken unto Balaam; but the LORD thy God turned H2015 the curse into a blessing unto thee, because the LORD thy God loved thee.
It is used to describe God turning a curse into a blessing. Balaam is the false prophet, he has a plan to destroy Israel, and God turned that around, a picture of the rapture and being snatched out of certain destruction.
Esther 9:1 Now in the twelfth month, that is, the month Adar, on the thirteenth day of the same, when the king's commandment and his decree drew near to be put in execution, in the day that the enemies of the Jews hoped to have power over them, (though it was turned H2015 to the contrary, that the Jews had rule over them that hated them
This also is a picture of God turning the evil plans of Haman around for salvation to the Jews. This is what the tribulation is, it is Satan's plan to destroy the church and Israel being turned around from defeat to victory.
Esther 9:22 As the days wherein the Jews rested from their enemies, and the month which was turned H2015 unto them from sorrow to joy, and from mourning into a good day: that they should make them days of feasting and joy, and of sending portions one to another, and gifts to the poor.
That is what happened at the crucifixion. Our sorrow was turned to joy. Our defeat was turned to victory.
Job 34:25 Therefore he knoweth their works, and he overturneth H2015 them in the night, so that they are destroyed.
Again, this is what happens during the tribulation.
Psalm 66:6 He turned H2015 the sea into dry land: they went through the flood on foot: there did we rejoice in him.
This also describes the salvation of the rapture.
Psalm 78:57 But turned back, and dealt unfaithfully like their fathers: they were turned aside H2015 like a deceitful bow.
That is a description of the apostasy. With what judgment you judge you shall be judged. So this also is a picture of the tribulation.
Proverbs 12:7 The wicked are overthrown, H2015 and are not: but the house of the righteous shall stand.
And so is that.
Lamentations 5:15 The joy of our heart is ceased; our dance is turned H2015 into mourning.
This is a companion verse with Amos 8:10. Song is turned to a dirge, and the dance is turned to mourning. But it is even more precise. They start the Christmas songs after Thanksgiving, but the dance, that would refer to the Christmas parties, generally one or two weeks before Christmas.
Joel 2:31 The sun shall be turned H2015 into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and the terrible day of the LORD come.
When is the sun turned into darkness? When is it changed? If you are at the North Pole this could be a reference to the Fall equinox. For everyone in the Northern hemisphere it could be a reference to winter time. Yes, I know the basic interpretation is an amazingly long solar eclipse like the three hours of darkness when Jesus was on the cross. I am simply pointing out that the various interpretations of this word could include a reference to winter.
Jonah 3:4 And Jonah began to enter into the city a day's journey, and he cried, and said, Yet forty days, and Nineveh shall be overthrown. H2015
This word is part of the sign of Jonah.
Haggai 2:22 And I will overthrow H2015 the throne of kingdoms, and I will destroy the strength of the kingdoms of the heathen; and I will overthrow H2015 the chariots, and those that ride in them; and the horses and their riders shall come down, every one by the sword of his brother.
This is what will happen during the seven year tribulation and Armageddon.
John 16:20 Verily, verily, I say unto you, That ye shall weep and lament, but the world shall rejoice: and ye shall be sorrowful, but your sorrow shall be turned G1096 into joy.
Amos 8:10 And I will turn your feasts into mourning, and all your songs into lamentation; and I will bring up sackcloth upon all loins, and baldness upon every head; and I will make it as the mourning of an only son, and the end thereof as a bitter day.
