We’re In The Eleventh Hour

The Dream
This was a rather but interesting, strange dream. I packed my carry-on roller bag rather quickly; I had an upcoming trip. I called my son Lyn to pick me up. He said he would be 20 minutes. Different things were taking place that seemed to take time and prevent me from leaving. One thing, another woman was in my hotel room. We had conversation regarding my packing and leaving. Another thing, I was at a restaurant with my sister and realized I hadn’t completed my packing for the trip. I was tying my shoes and leaving the restaurant to get back to my packing. I’m not sure if Lyn arrived at the hotel.The scene changed and I was in my van heading to the airport. As I drive down the first street it became so congested, I had to back up. There were other vehicles on either side of me, so I had to be very careful not to bump them. At one point it was very close. I was afraid our rear-view mirrors would touch but they didn’t. Once I got backed out from that street I turned and headed toward the airport. When I turned in the direction I would normally go, the road was under construction. It just suddenly ended and there was a huge drop off. It was like looking down into the Grand Canyon. There were no warning signs posted or guardrails. Very carefully I maneuvered the van and turned around. Amazingly now I was going down a hill rather quickly. It was a dirt road with big holes however the van was very easy to handle. I was amazed because the road was narrow. Just one slight bump would throw me off the side and down into the canyon. I had the thought – if I wrecked, people would say I committed suicide.
When I reached the foot of the hill I turned right, and immediately I entered the parking lot of a building. Surely this must be the airport although it doesn’t look like an airport. Walking inside, I joined a couple young ladies that were sorting new T-shirts to display at the conference that starts this evening. These were all sparkly women’s T-shirts; however, I did not see any man style T-shirts. After a short period, I left that area because I needed to check my flight.
I entered another part of the building where people were asking what time the conference begins. Someone said it would begin at midnight. As I entered through the door, a young man named Dominus welcomed me and began a conversation. To my surprise, he asked me if I want to dance. I told him I need to check on my flight. Looking down at my I-watch, I notice the face is black. Holding up my right index finger I explained that when my finger gets too cold it cannot activate the face of my I-watch. Therefore, I couldn’t tell the time or check my flight on-line.
Dominus held a watch in his right hand. The wristband was black while the hour, second and minute hands as well as the crown was pure gold. Diamonds lined the bezel that holds the crystal in place. I noticed the crystal is broken or shattered yet I was trying to see the time. Then with his right index finger he fast forwarded the time on his watch to 11:00 o’clock. Although the crystal is broken it is clear to see that he set the time to the 11th hour. It was then I realized my flight was at 11:00 o’clock and I will miss it because obviously my watch had stopped sometime earlier. He reassured me I would not miss it however I need the correct time. Then he places his watch on my right wrist. End of dream.
Time is at hand
There are many things that can be said about this dream. I welcome you to search out more and add to it. Although I take it as a personal dream, I feel it speaks to the entire body of Christ. I believe our time is growing shorter and the enemy is trying everything to get us distracted and off course so we can’t advance forward. There have been so many obstacles and dead ends, detours, lack of clear vision, and miscommunications. Many things have clouded our vision. Therefore, many ministries have been aborted or experienced spiritual suicide. Yet this is a dream of hope and endurance. Despite the distractions and obstacles, I was able to keep my vehicle, which prophetically speaks of ministry, on course and get to my destination.The index finger speaks of the prophet in the five-fold ministry. Here the prophet finger had grown cold and unable to function properly. Perhaps from ministry burn-out, distractions, obstacles, difficult season, hard times or lack of faith. Unfortunately the prophets could no longer discern time and season. We are to be like the sons of Issachar who could discern the times.
*1 Chronicles 12:32 of the sons of Issachar who had understanding of the times, to know what Israel ought to do.
Dominus
He introduced Himself as Dominus and Dominus in Latin means lord & master. Therefore, I believe the Lord was awaiting my arrival. And He asked me to dance. Bob Jones said dancing speaks of intimacy. I believe this is an invitation to the Bride of Christ to draw even nearer to Him for the Bridal Dance of Love. When I shared this dream with my son Lyn, he felt the cracked crystal represented the veil in the Tabernacle being torn when Christ died. Although the veil was a foot thick it split in half from top to bottom indicating the way between the holy place and the holy of holies is now open. Therefore, the crack in the crystal represents the tearing of the veil and we now have an open invitation to enter the holiness of the Lord.And Jesus cried out with a loud voice and breathed His last. Then the veil of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom. (Mark 15:37-38)
Let’s Look At The Watch
The watchband is black and so is the bride in Song of Solomon 5:1. The 12 numbers on its face are gold which represent God’s Apostolic Government. The small hour hand and larger minute hand is gold. This indicates man co-laboring with God to receive His blessings and divine timing. While the twelve numbers indicate His government, there are 5 small divisions between each number which indicates God’s grace in His divine government. Diamonds surround the crystal and hold it in place. A diamond is on the breastplate of the high priest’s garment. (Exodus 28:15-21) And lastly its’ crown is also gold. We may refer to it as the stem on a manual watch however the proper name is “crown”. Notice the Lord did not turn the crown (stem) because it is already in place. He simply adjusted the time.
The Eleventh Hour
The 11th hour means it’s the latest possible time before it’s “too” late! Here’s what I find interesting. I was trying to get to the airport to catch my flight. Other people we’re concerned about what time the conference started. When I shared this with my son he said, “I think the Lord is your flight!” He asked me to dance with Him but I was more concerned about the time, so I didn’t miss my flight. But I agree, He is my flight, and I am right on time. Many times we are busy running after other things instead of pursuing Him. All the conferences in the world can’t compare to one moment with the King of kings. I believe we are in the last hour. The Lord wants to “confer” with us; to grant or bestow to us a new honorary title, degree, benefit, or right. And midnight is the beginning of a new day. I believe we are already in the 11th hour and midnight is right at hand.
Bob Jones’ Clock
In the final hours of Bob’s life, the clock in his room began accelerating at exactly 11: 55 PM. It moved rapidly- fast forwarding until 8:00 o’clock and paused for five seconds. Then it continued to speed forward rapidly until one second before midnight. At midnight both hands stood still for a few seconds and then jumped forward and reset itself. This happened on two consecutive Thursdays.At that time, I believe God was showing us a demonstration of spiritual things being accelerated in the body of Christ. There was grace before the new day (11:55 PM) that had been extended to the body of Christ. In Isaiah 11:11 God’s stretching forth His hand a second time to the remnant. And 55 reveals great grace released to bring in the billion-soul harvest Bob prophesied.
The Night Is Far Spent
The phrase eleventh hour has a Biblical origin; it comes from a parable in Matthew 20:7-9 in which a few last-minute workers, hired long after the others, are paid the same wage. Despite being brought on the job after eleven hours of hard vineyard work, they weren’t too late. I believe the Lord is saying the time is short, we are in the last hour, the 11th hour. But it is not too late. It’s time of great harvest, the greatest harvest the earth has ever known. And we are here for such a time as this. The pay is the same! The pay is the blood of Jesus that redeemed us from the sting of death. Whether you’ve been in ministry 30 or 40 years or only a few days, the reward is the same. You are a laborer in the vineyard of the Lord. You are a shepherd of the sheep the Master has entrusted to you. The veil has been rent and you have an open invitation for intimacy with the Lord. Cast down your worries and keep your eyes on him.The night is far spent, the day is at hand. Therefore, let us cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armor of light. Let us walk properly, as in the day, not in revelry and drunkenness, not in lewdness and lust, not in strife and envy. But put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh, to fulfill its lusts. (Romans 13:12-14)
