Interpretation Example: Meaning of a Name
CHRISTIANS TO BIRTH FIERY LAMBS
I was very blessed to find out that Bob received yesterday’s Glory Train vision on 9/05/09. His egg represents birthing and our sitting in our seat represents our travail through out the watching and waiting for this birth to come. I believe that it connected with the Word the Lord gave me, especially because they were both received on the same date. My following rhema is about my {Name} who gave birth. In that rhema the Lord was telling me to watch the birth as a sign of His Word to come.
RHEMA 9/05/09 WATCH THE PARABLE OF UPCOMING BIRTH
HEARD: The cross references and how they relate. It’s is truth. Some different ways of revealing the same thing. {Name’s} climax.
DIVINE SIGN 9/07/09: LABOR DAY
When I checked the calendar today, I noticed that today was Labor day. I knew that was a Word from the Lord having to do with the sign {Name} giving birth. She went into the hospital today by direct orders of her doctor. She was not allowed to wait even one more day.
CONFIRMATION: Later at lunch when we prayed for her, my husband also mentioned that it was Labor day and that it was the Word of the Lord.
RHEMA 9/08/09 CHRISTIANS BIRTH FIERY LAMBS
HEARD: Keep her for me will You please’
HEARD: {Name}, I will answer your prayers Sweetheart. Every bit of them. Watch. Shelter.
John 17:11-16 NKJV
Now I am no longer in the world, but these are in the world, and I come to You. Holy Father, keep through Your name those whom You have given Me, that they may be one as We are. 12 While I was with them in the world, I kept them in Your name. Those whom You gave Me I have kept; and none of them is lost except the son of perdition, that the Scripture might be fulfilled. 13 But now I come to You, and these things I speak in the world, that they may have My joy fulfilled in themselves. 14 I have given them Your word; and the world has hated them because they are not of the world, just as I am not of the world. 15 I do not pray that You should take them out of the world, but that You should keep them from the evil one.
TESTIMONY: PARABLE OF BIRTH
Little Fiery Lamb was born today, 8 pounds for new beginning. The Mom chose the name because she liked it, and she did not know the meaning of the first and last names at that time.
She gave birth to an 8 pound baby girl: 8 = new beginnings
The name of the baby’s first and middle name means ‘Fiery lamb’ And the Mom’s name means Christian.
Her birth was an interesting set of events, which the Lord said would be another way of expressing what is happening to the church right now. She was overdue (sign of divine delay) and her cervix had not yet thinned. The cervix is the skin that covers the hole to the womb. The cervix is like a parable of the veil that covers the porthole to 3rd heaven visitations.
When birthing a baby, that membrane has to thin before the cervix can dilate and open up for the baby to come through the passageway. Usually the cervix will thin sometime within 6 weeks of the delivery and hers had not even started and her baby was overdue. They could not even induce labor until it was thinned. So they checked her into the hospital and gave her medication to thin the cervix. They would decide whether to induce labor the next day. As it turned out, the thinned cervix allowed labor to start by itself, so they broke her water and she began the contractions the next morning. The contractions open the hole for the baby to come through. The passageway that the baby comes through is a parable of the porthole opening between heaven and earth.
The baby was 8 pounds and they were concerned she was too big. On larger babies in the 8 pound range they get concerned whether the mother’s bones have spread large enough for the baby’s shoulders to get through. If not, the baby’s head comes out but the shoulders are stuck and they can’t pull the baby out nor push it back in, nor can they take it C-section. Usually, their only recourse is to break the shoulders to get it out or the baby dies. Big shoulders are a parable of governmental authority.
The Mom’s baby was very close to this problem and she showed signs of distress at the end. After pushing in hard labor for 2 hours the mom was very tired. They told her if she could not get the baby out on the next push, they would take her C-Section, which the Mom did not want at all. This encouraged her to push for everything she had and out popped little Fiery Lamb!
The Lord has been speaking to many of the prophets that the year 2012 is a very significant year. I believe it is when the apostolic gifts of miracles, signs and wonders will be loosed upon the earth. Unfortunately, I believe they will be released because of the great need for them at that time. As God’s glory gets brighter and more evident, so will the dark storms be in the world.
Isa 60:4 NKJV
Aise, shine; For your light has come! And the glory of the LORD is risen upon you. 2 For behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, And deep darkness the people; But the LORD will arise over you, And His glory will be seen upon you. 3 The Gentiles shall come to your light, And kings to the brightness of your rising. 4 ‘Lift up your eyes all around, and see: They all gather together, they come to you; Your sons shall come from afar, And your daughters shall be nursed at your side.
A PORTHOLE OF HEAVEN IS OPENING
Rom 8:19-23 NKJV
For the earnest expectation of the creation eagerly waits for the revealing of the sons of God. 20 For the creation was subjected to futility, not willingly, but because of Him who subjected it in hope; 21 because the creation itself also will be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God. 22 For we know that the whole creation groans and labors with birth pangs together until now.
INTERESTING SCRIPTURES MEANING PORTHOLE:
When the cervix opens, it makes way for the baby to move through the passageway into the world. That passageway is a parable of a porthole between heaven and earth. God’s people, through their prayers, labors and difficult circumstances in calling out to the Lord, are birthing the last day glory of God’s power to dwell upon the earth. We have been earnestly contending for His Word to be manifest on earth: where His will in heaven will be manifest as His kingdom on earth. The church will walk in His authority to heal, deliver and save many hungry souls for His kingdom.
Here are 2 references to portholes, one in the NT and the other in the OT.
New Testament
Rev 4:1 NKJV
After these things I looked, and behold, a door {2374} standing open in heaven. And the first voice which I heard was like a trumpet speaking with me, saying, ‘Come up here, and I will show you things which must take place after this.’
A DOOR NT:2374
NT:2374 thura (thoo’-rah); apparently a primary word {compare ‘door’}; a portal or entrance (the opening or the closure, literally or figuratively):
KJV – door, gate.
Old Testament
Gen 28:11-12; 16-19 NKJV
And he took one of the stones {#68} of that place and put it at his head, and he lay down in that place to sleep. 12 Then he dreamed, and behold, a ladder was set up on the earth, and its top reached to heaven; and there the angels of God were ascending and descending on it….
16 Then Jacob awoke from his sleep and said, ‘Surely the LORD is in this place, and I did not know it.’ 17 And he was afraid and said, ‘How awesome is this place! This is none other than the house of God, and this is the gate of heaven!’ {#8179} 18 Then Jacob rose early in the morning, and took the stone that he had put at his head, set it up as a pillar, and poured oil on top of it. 19 And he called the name of that place Bethel;
GATE OF HEAVEN OT:8179
sha`ar
OT:8179 sha`ar (shah’-ar); from OT:8176 in its original sense; an opening, i.e. door or gate:
KJV – city, door, gate, port (X -er).
PARABLE OF THE BUDDING ALMOND AT THE PORTHOLE
When Jacob was wrestling with God for the blessing, and a porthole opened up between heaven and earth, I find it interesting that Jacob took one of the stones from the old city of Luz in which to lay his head. Luz means ‘Almond’. Stones means to build, as in obtaining children.
Stones in the OT have always represented memorial stones that keep something of significance in remembrance to pass down to another generation.
Gen 28:19-20 NKJV
And he called the name of that place Bethel; but the name of that city had been Luz {# 3870} previously.
I am reminded of the parable of when the Lord validated His anointed one, Aaron, with the almond branch and almonds. The branch laid in the Lord’s Presence all night in the temple. The next morning when they looked at all the rods, the rod the Lord had chosen has blossomed and then generated the full fruit of almonds.
The word almond comes from a foundation word meaning to be alert, on the lookout, which is the parable of a watchman standing by his post for the Word of the Lord.
Prov 8:34 NKJV
Blessed is the man who listens to me, watching {8245} daily at my gates, waiting at the posts of my doors.
When connecting Jacob’s porthole with the almonds blossoming, and the anointing to be a watchman, it is a powerful parable to have an open porthole of angels coming and going right over your head! What a powerful porthole we are travailing for!
[Num 17:6-8 NKJV
So Moses spoke to the children of Israel, and each of their leaders gave him a rod apiece, for each leader according to their fathers’ houses, twelve rods; and the rod of Aaron was among their rods. 7 And Moses placed the rods before the LORD in the tabernacle of witness. 8 Now it came to pass on the next day that Moses went into the tabernacle of witness, and behold, the rod of Aaron, of the house of Levi, had sprouted and put forth buds, had produced blossoms and yielded ripe almonds. {8247}
