November 22nd, 2022 – 1:14am – Haifa Hostel, Haifa, Israel:

God woke me in the night and showed me this vision:

I was standing in the center of a broad highway. To my left and to my right people moved by going about their way. They were hollow eyed and their mouths were graves. They moved but there was no motion. They glided across the highway colorless in both directions past me. Their number uncountable. Then I saw that my mouth had been bound with a leather cord and I was unable to speak and my arms were bound by chains so that I could not move them. And my feet were shackled in iron so that I could not move. I could see and I could watch but I could not speak or move from that place. Then I heard the Lord say, “See I have bound your mouth for a time and bound your hands for a time and I have bound your feet for a time. Until the time I choose to release you you will remain so.” And then I looked and saw and heard and felt what was coming. I was shown my place in the great circle. And so I stood unspeaking and I stood unmoving in that place on that broad highway waiting until my time would come. Then the vision ended.

I share this here and now not for the here and the now but for the then and for the there.
