Dirty Bride (Sleeper Awake)

A naked lady bathes under a waterfall. She sings to the LORD and is full of joy in her heart. I see sharks in the pool below the waterfall. They swim around eating the babies and small children who are floating in the pool. The woman is oblivious to it all.

I see, on the shore, the mothers of those babies and the children crying out with great sorrow for they know not what to do. Those who muster the courage to venture into the pool are quickly consumed by the sharks.

Above the waterfall, court is in session. I see Jesus crying out for justice in a fit of anger. He points down below to the pool, and all of heaven gasps. Angels line the cliffs above and eagerly await the order. They are armed with all kinds of fishing and scuba gear – spear guns, nets and harpoons. Justice will soon be served.

The woman finishes bathing herself and puts her wedding dress back on and walks through the trees and along a path leading away from the pool. She vanishes out of site while the carnage continues.

Thunder looms on the horizon as heaven starts to open.

“It is time” is the decree from heaven. “It is time!” No longer will my bride remain unaware and uninvolved. The blood of my children shall be upon her hands. She will serve justice. She will be the voice.

As the woman comes to a clearing on the path, a great light from heaven shines upon her. In an instant, all of the dirt and stains that she had been trying so hard to remove are illuminated. She sees them and cries out. It disgusts her and all the scrubbing and scratching wont remove it. Her ears suddenly hear the cries from the pool. The noise is deafening. She tries to cover her ears to keep the sound out. It only gets louder. She looks for a place to run to. The forrest seems so dark and frightening. Horror comes upon her. Great horror.

She feels the weight of her own sin. She breaks and falls to her knees. She reaches her hands to heaven and cries out. Save me!

In that instant, Jesus appears. He embraces her and comforts her. Fire is in His eyes. Quickly, He restores her to Himself and lays a new coat upon her. this is a coat of iron. It is strong and unpenetrable. He points the way of the path back to the pool and directs her to move out.

With determination, she marches back and is joined by all the forces of heaven to destroy the sharks and bring back the babies and children to their families.
