The morning halos continued. I wrote and provided pictures of a halo directly over the church I attended where I struggled so deeply with submitting an article about a halo or "crown of 12 stars" over my head years before. What I didn’t disclose was that I had sent one of my sons to Rome to visit his brother for a month. He returned home from Rome late at night on June 2nd and woke up to another morning halo over him in the city where he slept.

He rejects any idea that it has anything to do with him and in response to my pointing it out, said, "Those are common, I’ve seen those before, I even saw one in Rome." If morning halos such as these are so common, then why did it make a full color spread on the front page of the paper?  Article is at:  www.sanluisobispo.com/news/local/article39153966.html

And yet, there was another halo that day. It was over the city where his brother was born, the brother that is currently in Rome.

Clothed in the sun, the crown of twelve stars in the sky, the moon at my feet, the halo over my church as I resisted it, unexplainable high website ratings and success in fighting over public school textbooks, more halos, I seem to be swimming in details such as this and I have been content to ignore them and wait, because if what I suspect is true, then time will bear it out. Revelation 12 events have yet to happen and besides, where are the two witnesses of Revelation 11? I’ve heard theories that they are Israel and America with amazing parallels, (Israel with protecting the Scriptures and the United States in sending out missionaries all over the world, both having forms of ability to control the weather, both, if destroyed, would cause rejoicing by Islam all over the world, and both able to revive after a deadly hit). Still, Revelation 11 seems too specific to be nations.  I did notice that the angel told John to “eat the little book” and prophesy again just before Revelation 11, which might be a reset of the timeline, which makes so much fit.  But I still don’t have a definite answer regarding the two witnesses.

And then the pastor of the little church under which the morning halo shone so brightly gave a sermon that should be heard around the world. A brutal, honest message of what it is to be Christian but the hope and joy of Christ in us, of His coming, He is here. How could I listen to this pastor talk so passionately about the cost paid by His disciples and stay silent? How can anyone receive so much grace and mercy as I have and then try to hide in a crowd and pretend I don’t know what’s happening?

The halo over the little church appeared on May 22, 2011 on the Jewish holiday of Lag B'Omer (Leviticus 23), a day of counting seven complete weeks from the day after Passover night. I have no idea what, if anything, that could mean but my son’s return and the second halo appearing was 12 days later.

So what do I do as I notice these things? I walk around pretending everything is normal and hope that it is. I hesitate to "travail" any more and I start taking risks until I realize I’m trying to change the course of what I think it all means. Anyone who studies Revelation might understand why.

And then there is my experience the first time I spoke “in tongues.” I had looked up two words that I kept repeating, phonetically, in Strong’s Concordance:

"'âlâh אלה aw-law' A primitive root (rather identical with H422 through the idea of invocation); to bewail: - lament." (H421 Strongs Concordance)

I had attributed it to my coming textbook battle with Islam and "Allah" but it also fits with Revelation 12 and since then, travailing for years in a campaign for the spiritual health of our children in public school because of the blasphemies they are taught.

The second word I wrote about in the article was:

 rah-maw' רעמה  ra‛mâh feminine word of "a peal of thunder; the mane of a horse (as quivering in the wind) - thunder."

This might be reaching, but there are four horses named before the four horsemen, thundering angels and seven thunders in Revelation. Everything keeps pointing to the end times, the apocalypse, tribulation.

Signs and wonders. They are amazing but pale in comparison to Christ’s message at the cross, that we can be forgiven in Him. Christians will sing that it’s all about Jesus, but from God’s eyes, it’s all about YOU. Don’t let anyone or anything be a distraction from what Christ did and the Holy Spirit whispering the truth of it in your ear, that by grace and mercy we may enter in to communion with Him in Shekinah glory, joy everlasting, peace beyond understanding…an experience of Him while all else fades away. What I have to say can only point to the importance of Christ in your life and the confirmation that HE IS. I pray your heart is not so hardened that you cannot hear it, because the FACT is, you are invited. Jesus is here. And if you cannot hear it, then soften your heart with the reading of the Word, seek Him, know Him through the Bible while there is still time.

All of this seems impossible, but with God, all things are possible. Much of what I have written here can be fact checked and I know there are so many people that know exactly how to do that: pictures taken with cell phones, the first source, return flights from Rome, webalyzers showing copies and dates of old postings …all for what?

All for one thing and one thing only. Jesus Christ came to save us and if you are willing, for you. He has paid the price for you, the pearl of great price. If you know Him, press in. If you don’t know Him, seek Him, He is waiting there, His voice is in the Scriptures.  Pray for His guidance just before you read. If you are one who has been hardening their heart for years, keep seeking. He came for you. To my Lord and Savior, it’s all about an eternity with you. Come home.
