CHAPTER 42

Genesis 35: 13 Then God went up from him in the place where he had spoken with him.
14 And Jacob set up a pillar in the place where he had spoken with him, a pillar of stone. He poured out a drink offering on it and poured oil on it. 15 So Jacob called the name of the place where God had spoken with him Bethel.

I was with the LORD through the entire scene of days and the worship of Jacob Israel. I looked on in awe of this time and place. Bethel – a place of worship – a high heap of stones in a high place where God met once more with a mere mortal man.

Then the LORD showed me a terrible passing scene of time in this place – a fast-forward of men and conflict and death and fear and famine and buildings and cities and walls and valleys and armies and devastation and more buildings and altars of idols and glowing of golden domes.

The LORD showed me a terrible foreboding scene of fire and fronts of confronting armies a valley of smoke and death.

Then the Light of the LORD lifted my troubled soul once more to the Throne of Heaven.  The LORD showed me once more a scene within the intricacy of a human body. I heard a steady pulse of three hearts: one loud, steady and strong; the other two pulses much quicker, yet faint in the newness of their struggling new lives.

Then the LORD showed me within this womb: two tiny twin fetuses: full of life, with quick contentious hearts, beating rapidly within their formed living bodies, floating in the waters of life. I looked on in awe of a living scene only recently shown to man in the two dimensions of an ultra-sound image of a mother’s womb.

The LORD then reminded me what this was all about:

BROTHERS.
