This is eerie!

THIS IS LONG, BUT IMPORTANT TO READ, IT CONCERNS JOEL 2


At our prayer room team debrief we talked about dreams. Which lead to end-times that many on the team have had. Which lead to a dream someone had about an earthquake in Missouri.

At a recent staff meeting a word was released (from a dream) about great trouble coming to Missouri. Trouble coming like Missourians have never known. Then she said "I don't know if it is an earthquake or what." She wasn't implying or prophesying that it was gonna be an earthquake at all. But I have found that many times under that kind of prophetic spirit that even our guesses are prophesying. And I left the meeting that day feeling like it was going to be an earthquake.

Now back to the dream in our de-brief. It was an earthquake by St. Louis and it the dream the people were in a house (I assume in KC, because they are all living in KC). And the house they were in went up in the air and so did they. First they felt a little shake, and one person said, "Here comes a big earthquake," and then they could feel major rolling or land movement, however you want to word it. They were unharmed, but were violently moved around.

This is long but it is quotes I took from various websites relating to the New Madrid Fault line. YOU MUST READ THESE:

Among them are three earthquakes that occurred in 1811 and 1812 near New Madrid, MO. They are among the Great earthquakes of known history, affecting the topography more than any other earthquake on the North American continent. Judging from their effects, they were of a magnitude of 8.0 or higher on the Richter Scale. They were felt over the entire United States outside of the Pacific coast. Large areas sank into the earth, new lakes were formed, the course of the Mississippi River was changed, and forests were destroyed over an area of 150,000 acres. Many houses at New Madrid were thrown down. "Houses, gardens, and fields were swallowed up" one source notes. But fatalities and damage were low, because the area was sparsely settled then. The probability for an earthquake of magnitude 6.0 or greater is significant in the near future, with a 50% chance by the year 2000 and a 90% chance by the year 2040. A quake with a magnitude equal to that of the 1811- 1812 quakes could result in great loss of life and property damage in the billions of dollars. Scientists believe we could be overdue for a large earthquake and through research and public awareness may be able to prevent such losses. Los Angeles can expect to be mightily damaged by movement on the San Andreas Fault, or the Newport-Inglewood or other neighboring faults, most probably within the next 25 years. But the Eastern and Midwestern states also face ground shaking of colossal proportions, repetitions of such known upheavals as the 1886 Charleston, S.C., quake, the 1755 Boston quake, and the Jamaica Bay quake hundreds of years ago on New York's Long Island. The granddaddy of them all was the 1811-1812 series of three great quakes on the New Madrid Fault (halfway between St. Louis and Memphis beneath the Mississippi), which shook the entire United States. The next time the New Madrid Fault produces such a quake, it is estimated 60 percent of Memphis will be devastated, leaving $50 Billion in damage and thousands of dead in its wake. Memphis, you see - like Armenia - has looked down the barrel of a loaded seismic gun for decades, but has done virtually nothing to move out of the crosshairs. If you look at all the hazards we face in this country, this one would rewrite the definition of 'catastrophic,'" said Jim Wilkinson, head of the Central United States Earthquake Consortium in Memphis, Tenn. "Everything comes through this region. If we go down, it's not just a regional issue — it's a national problem."




You won't believe this next part. They are doing a mock earthquake drill around St. Louis (New Madrid,MO) on June 19, 2007.

Here is a piece of that article:

7.7 — 'a big one'

...and it is in the center of the page just like I put it here!!


JOEL 2:10-The earth quakes BEFORE them...
JOEL 2:11-The LORD gives voice BEFORE (earthquakes before the army comes, before greater troubles) His army,
For His camp is very great;
For strong is the One who executes His word.
For the day of the LORD is great and very terrible;

Who can endure it? (out of the Father's mouth)

May this blogpost truly be fuel and strength to truly walk out what God is calling us to in Joel 2, and not just in Nashville, but right now.

Thanks for sharing Todd. I do really believe that we are in preparation for the days ahead. He is making our hearts ready as we pursue Him. We have felt a real urgency here at ODHOP in preparation for the Joel 2 fast leading to 7.7.7. This will be just the beginning.............
