Let's take this dream a bit farther.
Generally speaking...God doesn't forget what nations of people do. We forget and try to get on with it but many things are still left to a justice to come. I can look at my own life and see it as a coming fact.
Since this dream is so specific
and given Lisa's delicate condition
it leads be to believe it has importance to it...more than is discussed here. (I haven't looked at the Jeremiah aspect yet)
I just know God has been dealing with me concerning the Ez. 17 parable... God hasn't forgotten what has happened in this country concerning treaties and natives...just like he didn't forget the broken covenant with Babylon...
From another aspect...as there should be many... (since as Shekel says) "God's word is pregnant with meaning". To me that means if God gives a dream or a word or a vision "expect it" to grow to the full purpose he intended.

In 1645 Bartholomew Hoskins patented the Tappahannock site, which became known, at various times as Hobbs His Hole, Hobb's Hole, the short-lived New Plymouth, and the Indian name Tappahannock. The port town was to become a center of commerce during the 17th and 18th centuries establishing a crossroads.
Note the name Hobbs Hole...and...Possibly a crossroads in the history of this country.

In 1682 a local man, Jacob Hobbs established a trading post in the vicinity of present day Tappahannock, which became known as Hobbs His Hole. The town was comprised of 50 acres divided into half acre squares. Tappahannock's first call to duty was as a port for river traffic. The town grew, developing into a village of substantial importance. Colonial Charm is evident in a number of private homes still in existence, as well as in numerous businesses still existing in the buildings of that era. Street names such as Marsh, Queen, Prince, Duke, Cross, Church, and Water are original nomenclature. In 1705, the town was once again known by its Indian name of Tappahannock meaning "town on the rise and fall of water."
Hob..according to wikipedia is a nick name for the devil. Plus it seems to me there was a horror film with the name Hobbs End. (remembering the man in black)

The British Stamp Act of 1765 led directly to the American Revolution, and it was in Tappahannock that one of the first confrontations occurred.
Leading merchant Archibald Ritchie, who supported the Stamp Act, was labelled as "the greatest enemy of his country."
http://www.essex-virginia.org/ex_hist.htmDo we really think this was all about the British and the American?
I believe there are still things today that are a curse on the land that have to do with the American Indian. And it's in both boats...
There's a time for every purpose under heaven...The Bible teaches us that there are times of captivity. (I mean numbers of years). Israel has been the example. Even though we don't know the number of years of individuals and nations..God does and l believe those numbers are running out. Appointments with consequences. God is still teaching me along these lines. Much comes from the parable of the two eagles and vine.
One of the things l noticed about the article that l quoted from...Is that they hardly discussed the American Indian...Like they were some kind of side dish...a non entity hardly worth mentioning.
In Lisa's dream the hob was dressed as an Indian...I have to believe this is one of the main roots of a curse that led to many things. We can look at broken promises in Ez 17 to see this. What applies to one applies to all. Even our personal lives.
Wave upon wave....building and building...a gathering storm accumulated over hundreds of years with great strength of purpose. So .... Could this be about a tsunami coming? A drought...no doubt.
But why? Why these things without knowing specifics. Should we just blankly repent? Or should we know what we need to repent of? Broken promises...on every level...lead to the removing of God's hand.
Have you honored your vows? What is your most important vow? And to whom?
Since this dream was about this symbolic area
and beginning of the American Revolution
it has to have significance in relation to that.
And then there's the word Revolution ..It means to literally "turn around."
Independence? From Who? (shaking head)
Maybe we've come full measure using Tappahannock as a pivot point.
Could we be about to lose this "independence" that has been an "in your face" independence before God...All having to do with broken vows? It just could be...
