I know that Shekel meant this to be Russia... but I found this quote very interesting.
She is looking upward toward the north to north-west sky, where a storm is rising.

The Pacific NW sure has gotten hit by what the weather people call...The pineapple express. It comes up from Hawaii bringing lots of warm wind and rain. In my little area we have mostly dodged the bullet but l think some on this forum have really taken a hit. There are mudslides, road wash outs and all the huge amounts of snow that fell in the mountains last week have come down to drown the lowlands.
Last night l heard it was the 2nd biggest rainfall in recorded history. Toppled trees cut power and stopped rescue operations.

It's headed across the country.

The jet stream of subtropical air hits the mountains here and "wrings all the moisture out," he said. "It's like a fire hose aimed right at us."

Yes it is Julie but l was also thinking along these lines.

This week the Lord brought to mind the passage in Psalm107 again... only this time in a different light. I was thinking about how the 1st verse of this book is about giving thanks. Then right before the passage where the reversed nuns appear you have verse 22.
Psalm 107:2222 And let them sacrifice the sacrifices of thanksgiving, and declare his works with rejoicing.So today the Lord laid this passage once again to my heart..... then I started thinking about the Peace Summit at Annapolis on Tuesday. So I went to verse 27 to see what it read.
Psalm 107:2727They reel to and fro, and stagger like a drunken man, and are at their wit's end. Could it be? If Psalms 107 is playing out in 2007
So I grabbed my calandar and Bam I could not believe that Thanksgiving fell on the 22nd, just as the Thanksgiving verse is in 22! Dani and I have always felt that this passage is dealing with Israel. So could it be that this is a reference to what is about to transpire?
After I let that absorb I was lead to look up the name Annapolis.... here is the 1st thing I pulled up.

ttp://www.elook.org/dictionary/annapolis.htmlDefinition: - [noun] state capital of Maryland; site of the United States Naval Academy
Synonyms: Annapolis, capital of Maryland
Wow I was amazed I had no idea that this was the site of the US Naval Academy! Verse 23 of Psalm 107 is where the Nuns begin and it just happens to speak of ships and the sea!
Psalm 107:2323They that go down to the sea in ships, that do business in great waters; Not sure if this has anything to do with it all but I just found it very interesting.

Well...here we are one year later..The Northwest is ravaged by a storm and it's Hanukkah again..This string has discussed the hidden light of Jacob as God used this storm last year to demonstrate to me what it is like to be without power while all around you seem to be going about business as usual.
Now the tables are turned... And will be turned...The NW has been devastated again...It's worse than last year here in the NW.
Last year l lost my power while everyone around us got theirs back. You can read the string if you like. This year everyone around us is devastated and yet my little community is spared.
This storm will probably end up being the greatest rainfall in this area in recorded history.
Once again l'm reminded of Jacob.
There's coming a time he will be spared while all around him are in darkness.

I started to post awhile ago- but didn't. Thought perhaps I was being too "deep". But I can't shake it... so I'll post. gulp.
As I read about the Pacific storm today- I and saw a uterus. It contracted like a ripple... like a WAVE.
I remembered a stalleite image showing the Pineapple Express- when the storm began. It looks like the first half of a contraction on a monitor. Like the first part right before the crest/peak.
http://www.christian-forum.net/index.php?s...st&p=134601Stage 1, stage 2... today the storm is in stage 8. It grows and dies- like a contraction experienced by a laboring woman.
I didn't post until I saw this last piece, Miki. When I read it, I was astonished at the exactness of the timing.
Timings of contractions are evenly spaced. First 10 minutes apart. Then 7. Then 4 and 3.
Seems like a year apart is pretty evenly spaced. And then there is the Hannukah holiday to add emphesis.
I could go nuts with the timing. 1 day = 1000 years. But that would be carrying it too far.

Julie! I'm glad you posted because l was just about to come on line and talk about contractions and l came to this post! You've added dimension to what l was going to say.
In my personal life l have been experiencing contractions...Every time l've hoped it would be over it comes again...another wave worse than the time before...
I suddenly was swept back to the birth of my first son. I remember in the birthing process l reached a place where l just didn't think l could do it anymore..

but of course what we think and what is going to happen regardless ... are two different things. But my body was giving up wanting to push because l didn't know how to "hold" the baby in place. It kept slipping back. At that point they called in the mid-wife. With simple instruction l was able to press through.
God has used the Holy Spirit or Christ as a type of Mid-wife at another time in one of my personal ministries. When all seems lost he shows up.
I think of how long Israel has tried to stay the course...Not that they are doing everything right because without instruction from the source all would be lost...When the mid-wife comes she stays until the baby is birthed.
