Just speculation here, but with Connie's awesome reports I'm wondering if we're seeing part of an earthly occurrence of the heavenly aspect of Revelation 12...
Corpus Christi (body of Christ) evacuated as the dragon (hurricane) prepares to devour it.
Houston (heart, mind, spirit) is perhaps an image of the Woman in Labor (Israel), as Ezekiel 36:26-28 says, I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit in you; I will remove from you your heart of stone and give you a heart of flesh. And I will put my Spirit in you and move you to follow my decrees and be careful to keep my laws. Then you will live in the land I gave your ancestors; you will be my people, and I will be your God. And Mark 12:28-31 says, One of the teachers of the law came and heard them debating. Noticing that Jesus had given them a good answer, he asked him, “Of all the commandments, which is the most important?” "The most important one,” answered Jesus, “is this: ‘Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one. Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.’ The second is this: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no commandment greater than these.”
The dragon sends a flood against the woman--the hurricane devastation?
The woman is given wings of a great eagle to help her escape--an image of the airlift rescues?
The earth opens up to help the woman--the sinkholes?

Ok...reason I was asking is there is a thread about Jared Kushner. I was responding in that thread last night and what I wrote didnt seem to be applicable so I didnt post it. Perhaps this is why? I am from north Jersey. I grew up in the town next to Livingston and have lived there the last 8 yrs. Kushner is from (born & raised) Livingston...when i first heard about his heritage and his possible connection to Chabad/Lubavitch I felt ill.
Dont mean to derail, sorry
Mike, please go to the Kushner thread and post what you were going to? I'm very curious to know your thoughts.
Short answer is, I am great. My street is now dry and for the last 24 hours it's staying clear. Considering that yesterday morning, I thought it was time to start moving the furniture upstairs, that's just amazing. This morning if you look outside my house, you'd think the news was about another country or something.
My kids all checked in this morning. The devastation in Katy is unbelievable. They're saying some of those homes that flooded last night when they opened that damn will have water inside for 2 months. That is unheard of. One of my kids lives in Katy with a newborn and she said the water came up in about 30 minutes but it never entered her home. This morning her street is clear again.
Another lives in Mid-town and her street is also clear. People are being rescued by boat all around her. She and her friends are hearing stories from their network that will make your hair curl. They're about to take in an 87 year old who was rescued by boat last night and her cat
Okay so here's the thing-- yesterday, the water was rising and rising. In a thread above, you'll see that Tiffany and I were both talking about the scripture of the flood coming out of the dragon's mouth and the earth opening it's mouth to save the woman. Well, I decided to take that one to the Lord and just start asking the earth to open it's mouth and help us out around here. I mean if we're acting out some type of end times scenario, why not? Sure wasn't going to hurt anything.
About an hour later in the middle of a downpour, my street clears, I'm praising God and go back to checking the news.
This morning, my daughter tells me that her boyfriend's mother told her that the only reason her house didn't flood is that a *sinkhole* opened up on Beltway 8 and drained the water near their house. She sent me the video.
A sinkhole! I checked the timing and it corresponded to when my street drained, maybe an hour or so beforehand which would be real close to when we were praying. It's also near my house-- I am right by Beltway 8, about 2 miles north of the location. The boyfriend's mom said she's hearing from her friends that sinkholes are opening all around town.
Now isn't that something. If there's a way to post a video, let me know and I'll let you guys see it
By the way, the boyfriend and his entire family are believers, praying folks who love the Lord. They believe this is miraculous. I haven't heard one report of people that I know are walking with the Lord getting flooded-- I'm not saying that no Christians are going through this trial, just that there ate many, many reports of people I personally know who should be flooded out but are still dry.
Oh wow! Praise His Name!!!
I also was praying the same exact thing for you yesterday as we were having that conversation! No "if's" about it, God heard all of our prayers and HE ANSWERED!!!
Sinkholes???
Oh my goodness and the earth DID open her mouth!!! Praise Your Name Jesus!!!
Also thank you so much for sharing Connie. I literally have tears in my eyes right now and praising God... just how AWESOME He Is! He is watching over you, your family, and all those whom have chosen Him. I know from personal experience that He looks after unbelievers also (from when I did not know Him and was actively choosing to tell Him NO; I'd tell the story but it's off topic from the hurricane and I think we all know how lengthy my posts can be).
I'm with your daughter's boyfriend and their family... miraculous!
He shows us in so many ways, that if we simply truly trust and believe Him, give it ALL to Him... and He Will take care of us, take care of whatever it is. Thank you Jesus!
I'm not for sure of course, but our family may soon be joining yours in "water world" lol. We are on vacation, till Saturday in North Myrtle Beach. It got really windy yesterday. Then today it has started raining and still windy. We are under a flood warning and a tropical storm watch.
No worries though. We have Jesus watching over us and nothing will happen without His Knowledge or Permission.
Edit: Also, you said in the timeframe we were praying, maybe an hour beforehand. Proves that our Father knows our needs and our prayers before we even do, He knew the need and knew we would be praying and He answered BEFORE we even prayed. I can't get over how amazing He Is.

Tiffany-- I'm thinking that the answer to prayer came *as we were praying* but it took about an hour for me to see the evidence, in other words, it took that long for the street to drain where I live!
If I could just figure out how to upload that video-- there was so much water at that location that it looked like a waterfall. I looked on Google Maps and it's 4 miles down the Beltway from my house. So if He answered when we were praying, the timing to see my street clear is just about exact! The woman who took the video is a believer, stuck in her house with two elderly parents, one of whom has Alzheimer's. Her house was about to take on water and she was in prayer too,( just not prayer for any mouth opening haha), but she was positive the Lord was answering prayer with that sinkhole which was why she went all the way out there to video.
The whole thing is just such a picture of the goodness of God
Hope things are okay where you're at-- keep us posted please--
Interesting that the number of the National Guard is 12,000 in the following update! That number makes me think of the 12,000 of each of Israel's tribes listed with the 144,000 of Revelation 7.
Connie, how do you have the video? What format and size is it? I may be able to provide a server to put it on and then put a link to it for you.
It's on my iPhone. The woman who took the video sent it in a message to my daughter who sent it to me. I could text it to you or someone if that would work.

That is fascinating-- it fits the picture for sure.
Also, just an aside that may or may not mean anything. But when the Trinity River floods, that entire area will be overwhelmed with some of the biggest, meanest alligators and water moccasins in the US. We have them other places, but the Trinity is huge and the gators are monster big. Having lived there, the idea just makes me shudder thinking of all the displaced snakes and other creepy things set loose on the folks in that area.
Rev 12:15 And the serpent cast out of his mouth water as a flood after the woman, that he might cause her to be carried away of the flood. Rev 12:16 And the earth helped the woman, and the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed up the flood which the dragon cast out of his mouth.

in Michigan... The effects of Hurricane Harvey are already spinning the weather up here. Had to pull off the road to higher ground and wait it out. Many roads were closed from the flash floods and torrential rain. Watched cyclone clouds start to spin. Been praying for those in Texas and Louisiana. Have friends in Louisiana.
For it is for this we labor and strive, because we have fixed our hope on the living God, WHO IS THE SAVIOR OF ALL MEN, especially of believers.

That's it~! Thank you SK
The neighborhood that the lady lives in is to the right as she pans across at the first of the video. You can see how high the water is there. She was so excited, she waded all across that big mess to get a video.
Also, one of my kids said there are a few other sinkholes that opened right around the same timeframe. I can't verify that for certain as it's hearsay at this point.

Wow! This hurricane is affecting so many people even outside Texas! We'll be praying for you, as well, cwood85! Keep us updated as to your situation there!

EnochWalked: The people who stay in these doctrinally compromised churches will only be emboldened to abandon more of their historic teaching, until nothing is a sin any more. If the church preaches the same as the world, then why would anyone need to go to a church?
May 6, 2024 7:42:22 GMT -6
EnochWalked: It feels like we're in the 1st century again, where the church authorities cared more about political power (in this case "political correctness") than preparing the faithful for the arrival of promised and prophesied Messiah.

EnochWalked: Even after our Lord was raised from the dead, many refused to believe what they had heard from eye witnesses, and even used violence to oppress the message. So the Temple sacrificial system continued as if nothing had happened, for 40 more years.
May 6, 2024 7:49:17 GMT -6
EnochWalked: That's what it will be like after the Rapture, with millions of so-called churches full every week, celebrating the arrival of the aliens, or whatever story is told in our absence. They won't have 40 years to continue in their delusion, though.
