Vision of the Tortoise and Stone

It was a beautiful day here in the UK with blue skies and sunshine. So we spent some time in the sunshine today.

Then the first vision was given.

THE VISION OF THE TORTOISE/TURTLE

The tortoise had a big shell on his back (his home) and his legs were much longer then the usual tortoise. In fact, they looked like they were an improved proportion in relation to the weight of his shell. He was walking along like a slow walk of a human being and faster than a tortoise usually moves.

He looked very well equipped and in sound health. In the Far East the shell was a symbol of heaven. A symbol of the turtle was an invitation for the blessings from heaven and earth. Ted Andrews reminds us that when a turtle turns up in our life it is important that we pay attention and ensure that we do not miss opportunities. [1]This reminds us of a message from God received in 2008 about the Ninja's coming. The youth of today with long legs that grew up in the era of the Ninja Turtles taking on injustice.


Of course there is also the fable about the tortoise as well.

"The Hare was once boasting of his speed before the other animals. "I have never yet been beaten," said he, "when I put forth my full speed. I challenge any one here to race with me."

The Tortoise said quietly, "I accept your challenge."

"That is a good joke," said the Hare; "I could dance round you all the way."

"Keep your boasting till you've beaten," answered the Tortoise. "Shall we race?"

So a course was fixed and a start was made. The Hare darted almost out of sight at once, but soon stopped and, to show his contempt for the Tortoise, lay down to have a nap. The Tortoise plodded on and plodded on, and when the Hare awoke from his nap, he saw the Tortoise just near the winning-post and could not run up in time to save the race. Then said the Tortoise:


Plodding wins the race.

PATIENCE IS THE VIRTUE OF A SAINT

For those of you that have children you might like to share this story with them. I remember when my son was a child and I used to say to him 'Patience is a virtue and it is something that you must learn" He is now 26 years old and he is one of the most patient people I have ever met; patience of a Saint is mighty indeed!

Another interesting aspect is that the link below claims that the nationality of Aesop was Ethiopian (620 - 560 BC) and in the last couple of days we have connected with an Ethiopian brought by God who now lives in Holland.



The next vision looked like a stone monument. It was tall and plain to look at it. It was wider at the bottom and narrow at the top. It was the shape of a Mayan pyramid but it was much taller and had no steps or markings upon it. Above it was the sun shining brightly, it was broad and flattened on the top of the stone structure.

Then I heard the birds singing all around me as I sat in the garden in the sunshine. The birds on our left were singing cheerfully, the birds on our right sounded like cuckoo's singing 'I am bored, I am bored'.

WHAT DID GALILEANS HAVE IN COMMON WITH LONDONERS?

While sitting in the sunshine I picked up a book to read that I was asked to purchase. I had flipped through it in the last week or so but I am not a good reader of facts and do not have a good memory and get bored easily. Eliakim is an intelligent design and a receiver of God's instructions. However, when she is instructed to read something she knows that it has a divine purpose for being.

This was the message today:

“Josephus’s image of the Galilean as the indomitable fighter has little in common with the rabbinic portrait of the Northerner as a figure of fun, an ignoramus, if not both. One of the commonest jibes directed against the Galileans is that they did not speak correct Aramaic: U Aramaic in other words. According to a well-known anecdote preserved in the Talmud, a Galilean went to the marketplace in Jerusalem to purchase something which it called ‘amar’ The merchants ridicule him.

“You stupid Galilean, do you want something to ride on (a donkey = hamar) Or something to drink (wine=hamar) Or something for clothing (wool=amar) Or something for a sacrifice (lamb=immar). “

The distinction between the various gutturals almost completely disappeared in Galilean Aramaic; the weaker guttural sounds, in fact, ceased to be audible. Put differently, in careless everyday conversation the Galileans dropped their aitches. Third century AD Babylonian rabbis maintain that it was because of their slipshod speech of Galilee that Galilean doctrine disappeared.”

I have dropped my aitches from a child so much so my father nearly paid for elocution lessons. A true Londoner from many of the poor working class areas do drop their aitches and so it seems do true Galileans....

I found this amusing and I can recommend the book by the Dead Sea Scrolls Scholar, Geza Vermes called ‘Jesus the Jew”

RECAP


The tortoise of patience, the strong structure with the sun (Christ) at its head. Then the birds singing in two different tones, then the message about speech. More confirmation from God in the days when the one sent from God is experiencing hostility towards them just like Jesus experienced it too!

Taking nothing personally is very important and that is what it means to turn the other cheek. Taking nothing personally is one of the first things to integrate on the spiritual journey home to our heavenly Father.

Our message to the believers is this: Do not be afraid, do not let doubt enter your hearts. Trust in the LORD God almighty because every time a person tries to put doubt in your heart; if you are sincere and come from a pure heart God will come with his response. It can come in many shapes and forms but I can assure you that if you are in tune with God's creation the messages from God can be found and seen everywhere that you look; that brings us back to the request from Jesus in the teachings of the elect.

Bright Angel - Touched by Infinite Possibility



Jesus said 'I tell you truly, the Book of Nature is a HOLY SCROLL, and if you would have the Sons of Men save themselves and find everlasting life, teach them how once again to read from the living pages of the Earthly Mother. For in everything that is life is the law written. It is written in the grass, in the trees, in the rivers, in the mountains, birds of the sky and fishes of the sea; and most of all in the Son of Man.

Only when he returns to the bosom of the Earthly Mother will he find everlasting life and the Stream of Life which leads to his Heavenly Father; only thus may the dark vision of the future not come to pass". The Essene Gospel of Peace, Book 4, Teachings of the Elect. It is clear in this passage that again, Jesus was not talking about himself because he already was one with the Father.

May God bless you all with his Spirit.
