Fish swarms - confirmation
By the way, my fishing parable seemed to be confirmed the next day by this news report of a strange phenomonon as a result of the tsunami. Fish swarmed the coastline of Mexico in such mass numbers that people were just scooping them up in buckets. You gotta see these pictures!
Fishing
Sunday, Mar 13, as I sat quietly waiting on God, I realized I kept hearing the same words over and over: "Big Fisherman." and "I caught."
I started listening more closely: "Look at the fish I caught! It's about Fishing. Time to fish some more."
Then, I saw theisland of Japan Japan Japan
The Lord impressed on me the words of Jesus, "Cast your nets onto the other side of the boat." I remembered how it has been said that after WWII America was given a chance to tell Japan about our God. Eastern peoples very much believe in the power of the gods and since we had won the war they believed our God was greater, and they wanted to know him. But western society seems to have much more on its mind, and instead of showing them the one true God, we gave them technology and economics, which they very definitely put to good use, surpassing us in many ways in the years to come. Are Christians now being given a second chance to bring Christ to a humbled and broken Japan? (In no way do I imply that American Christianity is the answer, or that America is in much better spiritual state than Japan right now.... only that Christ himself -not capitalism, democracy, or technology- is the answer for the entire broken world.) Are we being given a second chance to "fish" for Japan?
Fish are Nations: I can't remember exactly where I recently heard this taught, but the point was about the great catch of fish the disciples made when Jesus met them on the shore of Galilee after his resurrection. He told them to cast their net to the other side and they brought in exactly 153 fish. It doesn't say a "bunch" of fish, or a "more than usual number" of fish, but precisely 153. Turns out that at that time in history there were 154 nations in the known world, including Israel.... the fish Jesus already had dressed and on the fire probably represented Israel. He had originally called them to be "fishers of men," and now he was confirming that, though they had as of yet affected only one nation, he was giving them the rest of the nations of the earth as well, if only they would cast their net afresh. This makes me realize that the "end times harvest" is not just about individuals, though God loves individuals. It is about "peoples, nations, tribes and tongues". It's about Japan. It's about the United States. It is about countries that practically take up whole continents and about tiny island nations. Is that why he put little ol' Tobago on my heart? Japan, the US, Egypt, and others are the focus of the world right now, but God sees ALL nations, and they are all big and important to him.
He has promised to catch them all. Trouble is now upon us, but he is not about whisking away poor little waifes out of hardship. He is about the full net of fish, hearty fishermen, and a spotless bride made of nations. It makes me think, "what is my job, my fishing hook?" We are each given a gift and a measure of faith. Is it praying? Giving? Going? Legislating? Healing? Preaching? It takes every hand on deck to bring in a heavy net.

Repent for the US west coast
I'm finding more as I go.... many of you may already have heard that Bob Jones prophecied last week's Japan disaster over 20 years ago and that once it had happened, many more things would begin to come together, including THE quake of the US west coast, and world-wide economic disaster.
See Rick Joyner's explanation here in his special bulletin video. Or Here for his written newsletter concerning the matter.
Also, see a former US Geologic Survey scientist's explanation of how the natural, physical signs are lined up to point to a large earthquake coming to America's west coast, even THIS WEEK. This scientist accurately predicted San Fransisco's 1989 massive quake..... as did Bob Jones. The Lord speaks through many means through many servants, whether they are reading the "natural" signs of science, or the supernatural signs of the prophetic realm.
Further, a friend just emailed me that she received a vision this morning of a young boy standing stunned in the middle of earthquake rubble in California. I have talked to several just "ordinary" people who received dreams and visions about Japan in the days just before the EQ and Tsunami occured. Is the Lord also showing just "ordinary" people what is about to happen here? The earth groans as it awaits the revealing of the sons of God. Let us listen, and press into maturity, for the sake of the earth, the Kingdom, and our fellow human beings.
Father, show us how to shake our hearts and our nation free of unrighteousness, so that it does not take the shaking of the earth and all we know to get our attention. Free us of EVERY hindrance that stops our ears from hearing your voice in the days, months, and years to come, for we need your individual direction and instruction. We turn from reliance on our minds, our money, our connections, etc. WE cry to You, our only hope, for wisdom, protection, righteousness, and peace. Heal our land.

At first glance
Honestly This post is not much more than you could find on the internet yourselves, but since I had a dream about a giant tsunami almost a week before it happened, I am thoroughly invested in finding out what God is saying about it and through it, to the world, his people, and myself. I also know there is more to come in a seemingly unrelated part of the world, and want to glean and learn as much as possible now. So, Here I have compiled just a little of what others are saying. Let us all pray, listen and hear the voice of God. There's more to come.
Japan Tsuami
Chuck Pierce prophecy in 2005 (actually it was given to his bother) There will be a shaking coming to Japan that will bring them to their knees. ..... I am causing the mountains to be brought down and the valleys to be brought up. I will create a leveling effect in Japan." and
"I will cause waves to come in such a way that portions of the island are covered with water in the center of this land. This will create a cry that says, I must find higher ground.‟
The prophecy also says that the after the shaking, the Lord will bring apostolic teams into the region and begin healing the wounds of the land. See entire word
Just one week before the tsuami, (March 4th - the number 4 represents creation and the four corners of the earth) Chuck also prophecied: "Under the foundation of the floor treasures have been hidden. I'm going to shake the old foundation until the treasure comes to the top." And another of his team members had earlier declared: In all of the nations shaking will begin and the saying will be, 'If righteousness is buried, it will now be shaken and seen.'"
Kim Clement also prophesied a massive earthquake in Japan in July 2006 See Elijah List comments and summary. Kim also released an audio message last Friday concerning this word, and the meaning of the earthquake and our response to it. The message is about 9 minutes long. Kim's audio link
So now we know better how to pray: Lord send your workers into the harvest field, and let nothing stop your righteous work of saving, healing, and restoring this nation and people. Righteousness and hidden treasures, Come forth! Japan, come up higher!
Chuck says: "Now is a time to declare that old religious structures will fall and many will experience the freedom and reality of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Pray for needs to be met. Pray for people to find their new places to live."
On another interesting note: the U.S. Geologic Survey reported to AFP, a world news agency out of France, that the events of last friday physically moved the country of Japan toward the east, changed the position of the poles, and sped up the rotation of the earth so that days are shorter now! (It's only by a fraction of a second, but still, how many times has that happened in the past and it's all added up? You're not crazy -- time is speeding up! Let us be careful to make the most of it.) Read one report
That fits with what one of you shared with me, that the Lord directly told her that we have entered a time of acceleration. Many of us are seeing this is true and fits with other prophecies of late. More on my own revelation on this and how it relates to earthquakes and tsunamis, later.
I also want to tell you what the Lord shared with me about our choice to call down either salvation or judgement and about Japan and the parable of the fish.... I guess I write slowly so this will have to be added on to tomorrow. I will also share the little more I have on the mystery of Tobago, God's kiss, and the Burmuda Triangle. I'll let you know when I have more up.

Original Post about the Dreams
To my dreaming and praying friends who will not think that I'm crazy - or forgive me if I am!
Just a couple nights ago I had a very strong set of dreams that I thought were significant but hadn't been able to understand, until (possibly) now.
The first was about an island being swept by a tsunami - I clearly remember a beach with big, ancient volcanic rocks. Mainly I saw the ocean-withdraw that indicates a tsunami is about to hit, and it was so strong I knew the tsunami would be huge. I climbed some cliffs with the tsunami waves licking my heels and barely escaped. The second part was about the island of Tobago. I didn't see a natural disaster, but there was a lot of confusion, familial conflict, children being lost, etc and my just wanting to get out of there. I searched the internet for info on Tobago since I don't know much about it, but couldn't find anything that seemed to relate or stick out to me. As I prayed about it, and tried to remember the dreams, the strange sense came to me that this was "taking place" in the northern lattitudes of the Pacific, and something about being near Russia. I thought that was strange because Tobago is in the Carribean.
Now a huge tsunami has hit Japan - an island with volcanic rocks, in the northern Pacific, near Russia. I can't help but wonder if there is a chronological connection between the Japanese event and something that is about to take place in the Carribean. This morning the Lord woke me abruptly with his audible voice in the middle of a dream in which the key was "Let me show you what cooperation looks like" and about my connecting and "cooperating" over a cell phone - a dream symbol of communication. So I'm "communicating" with you over email/fb, and hoping we can all "cooperate" in prayer for Tobago - or whatever else it may have represented.
It is NOT NORMAL for me to have dreams that are global in scope, but I do not want to be found lacking when the Lord reveals his secrets and seems to tell me to communicate them for the sake of cooperative prayer focus.
Obviously, pray for the people of Japan, as well as the South Pacific where most of the residual wave energy is headed, but also in faith, pray that the mercy of God will rest upon Tobago, Trinidad, the rest of that area of the world. That natural and human disaster will be stopped and/or mitigated. Also pray that if Tobago was supposed to represent something else that will be revealed. We can stay the hand of God - and He wants us to. Of course we will also pray for Oregon, California coasts.
If the Lord give you anything else on this, please share.
