What Is To Come
Bob Neumann, 5.26.2001
Dear Steven, last night i read your synopsis of what will come. We have talked about this many times. Likewise scripture itself speaks of troubles, persecution, and “the little horn” making war with the saints. Then there is Matthew 24.
But over and over i hear “THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN” IS LIKE….” and i ponder how badly we might misunderstand these lessons.
Last night i had two interesting “visions”.… each featured sharp steel.…
The first was very simple…i was walking, i guess, through a field of wheat. Every now and then i would grab a “head” and rub it between my palms. The first couple of times not much happened. A kernel or 2 of wheat berries and i would look at them and smell them. Why i sniffed i have no idea….i have never done this in the natural.
Then i grabbed a head and as i rubbed my hand filled with wheat berries. And i heard “NOW THEY ARE RIPE”. I looked at the berries in my hand. they were covered with chaff.
All around me i began to hear the sounds of sickles and scythes as the “harvest” began. for some reason i noticed a section of field. Scattered evenly among the wheat were tares. Large fluffy heads without fruit. They had sat throughout the “season” with the wheat feeling the sun and drinking in the rain. Side by side they flourished and took up space in THE KING’S FIELD. and bear no fruit.
Then i looked among the tares and saw individual wheat stalks. Some with small heads…some with large… and everything in between. This is the 30-60-100 fold HE TOLD US ABOUT. Then i cut down that area and separated the tares from the wheat. The tares were carried in one direction, the wheat in another. Where they would be kept till the threshing would begin.
It was here that i HEARD HIS VOICE…HE ASKED a QUESTION. “DOG, ONCE THE GRAIN IS THRESHED AND PUT INTO BAGS AND PLACED IN MY BARNS, HOW DO YOU TELL WHICH WAS 30-60-100 FOLD?”
I was stumped. And then reality closed in on me… it did not matter.
Wheat is good for 2 things… seed for the next season….there is your real 30-60-100 fold image… or it is broken up…ground up for food…for flour for bread, pasta, whatever.
Seed or flour. Two edges of the same sword. Very different potentials.
All that STEVEN speaks of is the threshing and the milling for the finest of flour.
