Vision: The Jewelry

Vision: The Jewelry

21^st September 2018

(In the last many years, I have seen several visions of gold mines and goldsmiths, but have not been led to share those, yet).

This vision was seen yesterday.

I saw a rectangular strip of land. It was lush and verdant. It was at the border of a large farm.

This strip of land opened back  like a lid, horizontally.

Suddenly, out of nowhere, a river appeared and it flowed for a while into this opening. This river flowed solely into the opening and did not water anything else.

Whatever was underground was so deep, that though the river flowed into it, it did not flood.

The rushing waters flowed particularly into the dark, hidden crevices beneath.

Suddenly there was an upsurge of water.

Upon the water were floating a multitude of small gold treasure chests, of a size that would fit comfortably into a man’s hand.

A farmer, dressed in simple clothes, which looked fresh and clean , came with a large empty wheelbarrow and filled it with these small gold chests.

He looked like a hardworking man.

Pushing his wheelbarrow along a path, he offered the small gold chests to people he met along the way.

But these folk, with an expression  of utter disgust on their faces refused to take the small gold treasure chests , because they did not like the look of the wheelbarrow, though it was unsoiled and dirt-free.

The wheelbarrow put the people  off, and they walked away.

Nonetheless, there were a few men and women, who did joyously take the small gold treasure chest each and ran with it to the top of the mountain.

I saw a woman at the top of the mountain with the gold treasure chest placed open on the rock.

This chest was ginormous now.

Inside were exquisite pieces of jewelry.

The lady saw that there was more than enough there for herself and to give away. In a corner was a unique looking jacket which she understood she was to wear.

The jacket had several deep pockets.

The lady was divinely guided to fill her pockets with jewelry which she was to distribute to others.

The young woman was delighted to be assigned such a wonderful task of giving away such precious jewelry, but when she held out exquisite pieces in her hand to give to people she met along the way, to her utter shock, these well-dressed folk refused to accept the jewelry because it was being given to them by hand rather than in fancy velvet lined boxes.

The lady shook her head and returned the jewelry into her pockets.

She sat on a rock in silence, for a while. The lady wondered if since all the people had rejected the jewelry she should return to the mountain. Or should she continue walking?

The lady prayed and then suddenly rose up and shouted for joy.

She would continue to walk no matter how many people refused to take the jewelry from her hand.

Just when she was about to continue walking on the path, she heard ever increasing sounds of despair coming from another direction. She asked the Lord, “ What should I do about those people Lord?”

“Go there”, came the Reply.

The lady turned towards the cries of the people and when she reached there she found a multitude of well-dressed folk, who had gathered  to join a celebration. They had been promised jewelry but they had none. They felt drab without it. They lamented the absence of precious ornaments.

The invitation to the celebration had been clear. None would be allowed inside , without their appropriate jewelry.

The lady gasped when she saw some of the faces in the gathering. They were the same folk who had refused to take the jewelry from her hand!

They were standing there stamping and crushing velvet lined boxes under their feet, which they had been conned into buying by crooks lurking by the wayside. These folk had paid a heavy price for these empty boxes, believing they contained jewelry. They were crying out to God to send them precious ornaments.

The lady looked around and saw a few men and women, who were wearing the exact same jacket as her. She went and stood with them.  Like her, these men and women were those who had joyously taken a small gold treasure chest each from the farmer’s wheelbarrow, and run with it to the top of the mountain.

She understood, they had all been through a similar experience. These men and women wearing unique jackets, stood together a little away from the crowd. As the sun shone on their coats, they realized that the jackets were made of solidified red wine!

They understood that though these people had rejected the jewelry  in the beginning they would recognize in the end, that these God lovers had been divinely sent to hand over to them what they needed the most, in that hour.

The gathering was praying for precious ornaments, when suddenly their eyes fell on the row of men and women wearing these unique jackets. Immediately they recognized the obedient ones and how they had arrogantly  refused to take the jewelry from their hands.

They began to weep and thank God loudly for His amazing Goodness. They ran to them and with all humility, gladness and gratefulness to God,  and took the jewelry from their hand.

There was more that enough jewelry for all.

Though the multitude was well-dressed, yet the moment the men and women  wore the appropriate jewelry, they shone. They could now go inside and join the celebration to which they had been invited.

Proverbs 4: 5-9

Get wisdom, get understanding: forget it not; neither decline from the words of my mouth.

6 Forsake her not, and she shall preserve thee: love her, and she shall keep thee.

7 Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all thy getting get understanding.

8 Exalt her, and she shall promote thee: she shall bring thee to honour, when thou dost embrace her.

9 She shall give to thine head an ornament of grace: a crown of glory shall she deliver to thee.
