2013-14 The Convergence of Themes

There seem to be several timelines that are all converging on this particular time, and I am not the only seeing the lines converging others have shown that lines that have run much longer than my 6 years, or 20 years, or even 26 years, Dr. Stephen Jones has patterns of years that are measured in centuries and even millennium. Several prophetic times lines confirm my little slice on it... that we are living on the edge of things we know so little of... perhaps the last great in-gathering. If I could I would create a timeline showing how all these prophetic things started at different times, in different places, some even generations ago, but they all point to an end of old things in this time frame. What would it have looked like in the days just before the angel visited Mary, would we have seen all the lines of history from ancient past converging on Bethlehem in a stable. It happened in his first coming what would it look like for His second coming? wouldn't all the prophecies again begin to converge?

Well here is my personal little slice of converging themes...

In 1987 I got a word about Saul and David, and that I was not Saul, the instructions were to dodge the spears but don't throw them back, in a way I have been running from Saul since that date. But I believe I have finished my marathon and in this year God is restoring all that the race has taken away.

In 1993 when I made the move to Mankato, I placed myself under a presbytery, several leaders prophesied over my life, but one prophet from the region told me that God said,  you have run the 100 yard dash, You have run the 440, I have run the mile, but God says he is preparing you to run the marathon.  

Marathon's name (Μαραθών) comes from the herb fennel, called marathon (μάραθον) or marathos (μάραθος) in Greek,^[3] so Marathon literally means "a place with fennels".^[4]The name of the athletic long-distance endurance race, the "marathon", comes from the legend of a Greek runner, who was sent from the town of Marathon to Athens to announce that the Persians had been miraculously defeated in the Battle of Marathon. 
It is said that he ran the entire distance without stopping, but moments after proclaiming his message "Nenīkēkamen" ("We have won!") to the city, he collapsed from exhaustion.   

The David/Saul theme came up again last year in August of 2013, just as I was closing out the 26th year. Have I finished my marathon in Mankato? 

There are other timelines which also seem to converge in this new year, (Sept 2013-September 2014),  At the end of our 40 days of prayer, on Yom Kippur (September 14, 2013, instead of blowing the sorrow and call to fast, we declared Jubilee, release of the captives, prison doors opened, all debts cleared, all inhabitants of the land to return to their own homes to their inheritance.  This taking our mourning and turning it into dancing. The fast become the feast of the Lord. 

The balance of 2013 and most of 2014 by the roman calendar mark the year of the favor of the Lord another term for Jubilee. 

So I am ready to declare that I am free of this prophetic process that started in 1987, I have run the course and I am ready to declare "we have won!" Done with being David on the run from Saul and finally, I can be David who comes home, ending his exile under Saul, returning to my inheritance, home and family. (another Jubilee manifestation)

On 02-02-2008 the Lord woke me up in the middle of the night and said one phrase to me; David, there will be six more weeks of winter.

I knew in my spirit that 'winter' was a 'season' (six years) where my voice could not be heard.
It seemed like when the Lord was saying six more weeks of winter he was actually meaning six more years before the revival fires can turn the season from cold to hot. but I dreaded that thought, how could it take that long for things to turn around?

Last Sunday,  February 2, 2014 - is exactly six years later but I wasn't thinking about that word from 2008. But as I was praying before worship practice, I realized that this was February 2nd and I was wondering was the word from 2008? or 2009? I went to my calendar later in the day and checked, it was written down on my calendar in 2008, meaning that the six weeks was actually six years! And that the six years are over, I am moving into spring when my voice can be heard again.

 So I am declaring by faith that spring is coming in 2014 and I will return to the company of the prophets and my voice will be heard again. In a way, the last six years for me have been the most disconnected time period in the local church. There was no opportunity to meet with leadership in any capacity, I have no responsibility, no teaching, no preaching, no outlet for me to share the things of God, except at Thursday night prayer. My extensive travel from 2-2-2008 ended in the fall of 11-2010. But for all intents and purposes getting together with others or actually NOT getting together with others, it is like I am still on the road. There is very little interaction with the guys especially for a local church that is relationally based.

That brings me to a dream that I had this Sunday morning February 9, 2014.
In this dream I return to a large company, that I once worked for many years ago, for a period of seven years(1978-1985). In the real world this company no longer exists, but the faces of those years came back to me in my dream. In the dream I went to this company's offices for a job interview.

But I never have the interview, there were no questions to answer, no tests to take, no hurdles to jump. Later in the dream as I walked through the offices of this large company, it appears that everyone there knew who I was and they knew why I was there.

Furthermore, they knew it was important for me to return at this particular time. They knew my gifts, my capabilities, my heart. The company was in a transition, they knew they needed me and I was ready to re-enter the corporate structure. The new faces, have all heard stories of the years I was there, and about me going away for a long time, they were all glad I am finally returning home.

As I reached the other side of the office complex. I stepped through a white door and onto a sunlit landing. The stairs would return me to the lobby on the first floor. As I took a step toward the stairs a small girl took my hand and I looked down to see who it is. With big sad eyes she looked in to my eyes and asked "why are you leaving us?" to which I answer "honey I have to go and see my family now" she looked sad but slowly let go of my hand, and the dream ended.
