Top Ramen

A few days ago I had an email from a very dear sister in Messiah who often hears clearly from the Lord. She had just had a vision in the night and here is what she wrote to me:
"I saw like a note held up in front of me so I read it. It said:
TOP RAMEN
DANIEL 4

So I read Daniel 4 about Nebuchadnezzer's dream and Daniels interpretation of his dream. The Spirit said, "Eat these words" and then the Spirit said, "This is America." So let me know if you have any insight about this dream."

I pondered her vision and the words the Spirit spoke to her and then I asked her if I could have permission to share it on this blog because clearly this word is for our country, for all of us.  She gave permission and so I want to share with you all that came to me in my prayer time over this vision and the words she heard.

Top Ramen....eat these words...this is America.
The Spirit could not have been more clear. Top Ramen is probably the cheapest food you can buy in America; it is known as "college kid food" because that's what they can afford to eat! The Lord is saying America will soon have hyperinflation so high that we will only be able to eat Top Ramen.  And it's not just hyperinflation. The supply chain is broken. And one of the worst shortages is FERTILIZER.  Without fertilizer the farmers will not be able to grow their crops. I watched a video on that subject last night that brought forth the truth about this situation. Here's a link to it:

These things are happening RIGHT NOW and a majority of Americans are asleep or in denial. They have not stored food even though they have been warned and warned. I know God will provide for HIS children, but He has also sent many warnings to prepare for this time.  I believe this vision our sister received is yet another alarm bell from Heaven, awakening us to use wisdom and prepare for what is coming.  We should be storing up food, toiletries and needed supplements or medicines RIGHT NOW. It may be that in doing so we may be able to help not just ourselves, but other friends, family and neighbors, more than we could ever imagine.  Ants are creatures of little strength, yet they store up their food in the summer. (Proverbs 30:25).  And thank goodness for the illustration of Joseph in Egypt who had the wisdom to store grain after interpreting the Pharaoh's dream! I believe in miracles, my friends, and I know Jehovah Jireh my Provider; but I have heard His warnings to prepare in my own prayer time and I have done what I could. 

So that addresses the meaning of TOP RAMEN in this vision, but what does our Lord want us to understand about America from the text of Daniel Chapter 4?  I believe He is showing us, from His lofty view, what America has become: 'You have become great and strong; your greatness has grown until it reaches the sky and your dominion extends to distant parts of the earth" (Daniel 4:22). As God dealt with Nebuchadnezzar, so He will deal with America. "Renounce your sins by doing what is right, and your wickedness by being kind to the oppressed" (Daniel 4:27). Just like that wicked king, the rulers of America are claiming "I have built this by MY mighty power and for the glory of MY majesty!"  (Does BUILD BACK BETTER ring a bell?  How about "We will build back stronger," as was spoken after 9/11?) The Spirit is so clearly showing us the parallel of this wicked king of the Bible and the wicked, deceitful administration that rules America today, enslaving the people, and claiming to have ALL POWER.  We are in for some VERY challenging, difficult days ahead. We have only to spend time in the Scriptures to get a clear view of what will be taking place in these end times; Matthew 24 is being rolled out and Isaiah 24 is a picture of the planet as dozens of volcanoes and earthquake zones come to life.  At my house we have been watching in awe the 70+ day eruption of the LaPalma volcano, followed closely by the incredible volcano on the island of Tonga, that spewed hot lava and ash 12 miles high into the sky from deep under the sea!  If you have not been aware of these awesome events, look online at the many videos. 

Do you see the Scriptures in Matthew 24 happening even now?  Wars and rumors of wars? Nation against nation? Famines and earthquakes?  Increase of wickedness? Love grown cold?  Matthew 16:2:  He replied, “When evening comes, you say, ‘It will be fair weather, for the sky is red,’ and in the morning, ‘Today it will be stormy, for the sky is red and overcast.’ You know how to interpret the appearance of the sky, but you cannot interpret the signs of the times.

It is good of our Lord to give us warnings so that we will pay attention to the signs of the times and have some provisions; but I certainly don't want to downplay the more important preparation of the heart that each of us need.  The Bridegroom is coming soon for His Bride.
