St. Paul/Minneapolis Bridge Revelation

Although there is human tragedy in the event of the St. Paul/Minneapolis bridge collapse and we pray comfort to the families who suffered loss and injury, nevertheless we must ask what is the significance of this event, are you speaking Lord?

When natural events occur they often time have spiritual significance, even more so in this hour of the veil between heaven and earth being so thin. 

Several words from Prophets Chuck Pierce and Cindy Jacobs and others have said, “watch the highways”, they are significant signs in this time.  Chuck Pierce after the fifty state tour was instructed to go to the head and mouth of the Mississippi and prophesy, at the head of the river in Minnesota he prophesied an “awakening wind” would come to America.  At the mouth of the Mississippi, in Louisiana, he prophesied that a “purifying wind” would come, this was in 2005 and 2 weeks after this word came forth Katrina (which means purity) hit New Orleans. 

When I heard the news on August 1, 2007 that the bridge went down in Minnesota my first thought was this is the “awakening wind” especially after the great “shifting” of the nation that took place at The Call Nashville on 7-7-07!  I have now heard that Chuck Pierce has declared that this event marks the “awakening wind”!

Several things came up in studying this event as well as spiritual insight I believe has come from the Lord, I will now share these for the purpose of us being as the Sons of Issachar and understanding the “times and season” and the events of our generation!

Why St. Paul/Minneapolis, Minnesota?  First and foremost, Prophet Chuck Pierce spoke the word about the awakening wind coming from the “head” of the Mississippi and the Lord confirms the words of His true prophets!  Katrina came with a great shaking and destruction, these are temporal judgments that cause us to look to God for salvation, mercy, and re-direction.

Secondly look at the name of the Twin Cities, St. Paul/Minneapolis.  This is an hour that the Lord is restoring the “Apostolic” church and re-awakening the “mysteries” of the Apostle Paul.  Mysteries like the “One New Man”, the mystery of the “Last Trump (shofars are appearing everywhere – especially at The Call Nashville with 300 trumpeters! A sound went into the earth that is shaking everything that can be shaken!), the mystery of godliness, Christ in us – the hope of glory!  Minneapolis is a combination Native American and Greek word.  Minne = “many waters”, apolis = city, in essence a city of many waters.  In Revelation 2 the Lord is described as having “the voice of many waters”. Twin cities, double portion, many have heard the Lord say in this hour that He is going to pour out a “double portion” in this generation, a Elisha Generation!

Many of us believe that The Call Nashville on 7-7-07 was mandated by the Lord for us to come together and “reverse the curse” of the Summer of Love,  a generation or forty years of the sexual revolution, which has polluted our children and our nation.  That the foundations that were built in 1967, the connections in the spiritual realm that occurred in that time (music and sounds from bands like The Doors, The Beatles, acid rock, free-love) all of these things that were built and foundations and connections that were laid that lead to 40 years of moral decay and the culture of death in our nation, all of these would now from 7-7-07 begin to shake and come down, and that a “great awakening” would begin!

What about the timing of the collapse?  The bridge came down on the first day of August, 8-1-07.  August is the 8th month a month of “new beginnings”, not only that but it fell at 6:05 PM the first watch of the night!  The collapse occurred on the first day after the month of July, the month of The Call Nashville and 7-7-07, on the first watch of the night!

In the scriptures The Word refers to the church as a “city”, in this hour the Lord wants his church to become the city filled with His voice walking in His mysteries, filled with apostolic authority, revelation and power!  All the bridges and connections to 1967 and the “Summer of Love” must come down, we can’t pave over them or build upon them, they must come down!

The bridge that came down in St. Paul/Minneapolis was opened in 1967 and had been in place for 40 years.  At the time of collapse they were trying to repave the surface and upgrade this “connection” from 1967.  I feel the Lord saying that what was laid as a foundation in 1967 cannot bridge His release of apostolic (St. Paul) revelation, the authority of His voice (of many waters) in His church (city) that we are in a season of new foundation and new connections.  If you will I also feel the Lord saying that we are not going over “the river” in this hour, He is going to bring us “through it” like Joshua and Caleb and the next generation of Israelites who held to the “good report of faith” and crossed over and took the Promised Land! (There was a school bus on the bridge at the time of the collapse, all the children escaped - the Lord delivered the next generation from the bridge of 1967!)  The shofars sounded in Nashville on 7-7-07 the sound went into the earth and the heavens, all that can be shaken is being shaken, and the awakening is upon us!

The bridge that fell was part of Interstate 35.  The prophets said watch the highways! In the past the Lord has always directed me to His Word when numbers are present, I submit Isaiah 35 (I-35):

Isaiah 35

The desert and the parched land will be glad; the wilderness will rejoice and blossom. Like the crocus, 2 it will burst into bloom; it will rejoice greatly and shout for joy. The glory of Lebanon will be given to it, the splendor of Carmel and Sharon; they will see the glory of the LORD, the splendor of our God.

3 Strengthen the feeble hands, steady the knees that give way; 4 say to those with fearful hearts, "Be strong, do not fear; your God will come, He will come with vengeance; with divine retribution he will come to save you."

5 Then will the eyes of the blind be opened and the ears of the deaf unstopped. 6 Then will the lame leap like a deer, and the mute tongue shout for joy. Water will gush forth in the wilderness and streams in the desert. 7 The burning sand will become a pool, the thirsty ground bubbling springs. In the haunts where jackals once lay, grass and reeds and papyrus will grow.

8 And a highway will be there; it will be called the Way of Holiness. The unclean will not journey on it; it will be for those who walk in that Way; wicked fools will not go about on it.   9 No lion will be there, nor will any ferocious beast get up on it; they will not be found there. But only the redeemed will walk there, 10 and the ransomed of the LORD will return. They will enter Zion with singing; everlasting joy will crown their heads. Gladness and joy will overtake them, and sorrow and sighing will flee away.

(New International Version)

The “Awakening Wind” is upon us, the “Highway of Holiness” is being built in this hour. The Joshua’s and Caleb’s are joining with this new generation and bringing down the culture of death that has been in place for the past 40 years and we are taking back this nation and this land for our God and our King!  All bridges, foundations, and connections to 1967 are in the process of coming down, the ax has been laid to the root this summer on 7-7-07.  Now like the children of Israel we must go into the land and defeat the “giants”, He is with us and will surely give us the victory as we walk on the “Highway of Holiness”!

Let us hear what is being said in the St. Paul/Minneapolis I-35 bridge collapse and become His apostolic city, filled with His Voice, His holiness, His power, His “now” revelation, and His heart for this hour and for this nation severing all connections and bridges with the folly of the curse of the past 40 years!

Micah 4:1-2

And it will come about in the last days

That the mountain of the house of the LORD

Will be established as the chief of the mountains.

It will be raised above the hills,

And the peoples will stream to it.

2 Many nations will come and say,

" Come and let us go up to the mountain of the LORD

And to the house of the God of Jacob,

That He may teach us about His ways

And that we may walk in His paths."

For from Zion will go forth the law,

Even the word of the LORD from Jerusalem.

NASU
