Which will He send to you?
I saw the Lord’s arm outstretched. And upon it…a hawk, and a dove. Which will He send to you? Will you have peace with Him?
Matthew 7:7
“Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you.” ~ Jesus

Will He send the hawk?…or will He send the Dove? Seek peace with the Lord, ask of Him.
2 Peter 3:3 – 18
3)”Know this first of all, that in the last days mockers will come with their mocking, following after their own lusts,
4)and saying, “Where is the promise of His coming? For
ever since the fathers fell asleep, all continues just as it was from the beginning of
creation.”
5) For when they maintain this, it escapes their notice that by the word of God the heavens existed long ago and the earth was formed out of water and by water,
6) through which the world at that time was destroyed, being flooded with water.
7) But by His word the present heavens and earth are being reserved for fire, kept for the day
of judgment and destruction of ungodly men.
8) But do not let this one fact escape your notice, beloved, that with the Lord one day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years like one day.
9) The Lord is not slow about
His promise, as some count slowness, but is patient toward you, not wishing for any to
perish but for all to come to repentance.
A New Heaven and Earth
10) But the day of the Lord will come like a thief, in which the heavens will pass away
with a roar and the elements will be destroyed with intense heat, and the earth and its
works will be burned up.
Pg. 152
11) Since all these things are to be destroyed in this way, what sort of people ought you to be in holy conduct and godliness,
12) looking for and hastening the coming of the day
of God, because of which the heavens will be destroyed by burning, and the elements will melt with intense heat!
13) But according to His promise we are looking for new heavens and a new earth, in which righteousness dwells.
14) Therefore, beloved, since you look for these things, be diligent to be found by Him in peace, spotless and blameless,
15) and regard the patience of our Lord as salvation; just
16) as also our beloved brother Paul, according to the wisdom given him, wrote to you, as also in all his letters, speaking in them of these things, in which are some things hard to understand, which the untaught and unstable distort, as they do also the rest of the Scriptures, to their own destruction.
17) You therefore, beloved, knowing this beforehand, be on your guard so that you are not carried away by the error of unprincipled men and fall from your own steadfastness,
18) but grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To Him be the glory, both now and to the
day of eternity. Amen.”
2 Peter 3:3 – 18 https://bible.com/bible/100/2pe.3.3-18.NASB1995
…and I saw a bird who was a friend, in the air, watching an angel with a trumpet.
This was another visual.
His friends keep His commandments (that is their aim) and do thus…
John 15:14
“You are My friends if you do what I command you.” ~ Jesus https://bible.com/bible/100/jhn.15.14.NASB1995

“For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared
beforehand so that we would walk in them.” https://bible.com/bible/100/eph.2.10.NASB1995
Godspeed and grace to you I pray.

Thanks and Praises to Our Lord
Thank you ever so much, Lord. You are so thoughtful, and sustaining. You are my strength. In your presence there is joy!
You refresh me daily as I count on you. Your way is mysterious and wonderful, I cannot predict the limits to your grace and help… nor the multitude of Your manifold ways.
Your faithful love is astonishing, your bounty endless.There is nothing you can’t do, and you answer to no one. When I consider your might, I am overwhelmed…then your kindness supports me.
Your mercies are new every day. There is no one else like you! All those who oppose you are are foolish. You have delivered me from the snare of the enemy. Your word is too much for him, and his lies fall one after the other to the ground before you.
Godspeed your Kingdom, and each and every of your commands and desires. For your glory I pray! (and to see it and have something to do with it. For you questioned me, saying: “If I come and show you, do you want to have something to do with it?”).
Amen and praise the Lord! Praise the Lord all the earth! Praise the Lord all the Heavens! Our King of kings reigns! Justice will be entirely accomplished by Him.
The culmination of our Father’s will is coming. His Word is true! Lord Jesus come quickly.
All those of the Spirit of God say, Hallelujah!
