This night vision, as well as the other two, I received in the early summer of 1973, when I still lived with my husband in Italy. I had absolutely no knowledge of any Scriptures - neither Ezekiel's, Daniel's, John's nor any other prophet's visions and descriptions of the Lord's appearance and glory. I was unfamiliar with beings called "stars" and "cherubim." I had never  heard of the “third heaven”, into which I was granted to look as through an open window, like the apostle John. I did not know Messiah was referred to as a Rock, nor did I understand the omnipotent power of His cross. In short, none of the Scriptures illustrated to me were known to me. Those visions transformed me into a most ardent Bible student. Each time I came upon a Scripture previously illustrated to me, I instantly recognized its meaning. The visions and the Scriptures merged, like two copies of the same map perfectly match when layed one upon the other.

Assuredly I was ecstatic when I learned that my visions of G-d's glory, of heaven and of the Lord, paralleled those of Ezekiel, John, Nahum, Daniel, etc. I was exultant ... and in awe! When I read of Paul having been caught up to the third heaven and to Paradise, I was speechless, and the discovery of the "footprints" of Abraham, the "father of faith," in the Epistle to the Romans, elated me. The exposition on the three great "pillars" of our faith in 1 Corinthians 13 – love, faith, and hope - almost raptured me.

I have often been accused of having an over abundance of enthusiasm and exuberance. People were embarassed by my "unbridled display of emotions”. I should act more mature, put reigns on my "feelings”. However, my elation has nothing to do with emotions or feelings. Rather, Paul hit the mark when he said, "... to keep me from being too elated by the abundance of revelations, a thorn was given me in the flesh, a messenger of Satan, to harass me, to keep me from being too elated…”¹²². 

My "Scripture-visions" provided me with a sure foundation, girding me up with His Truth that cannot be shaken. Indeed, what happened to Paul, also happened to me: "... I did not receive the Gospel from man, nor was I taught it, but it came through a revelation of Yeshua HaMashiach (Jesus Christ)... And when He Who had set me apart before I was born, and had called me through His grace, was pleased to reveal His Son to me [in order that I might herald the closing days of this age of grace and His Return, both to my own people, the House of Israel, as well as to the nations¹²³], I did not confer with flesh and blood, nor did I go up to [those who were reputed to be something]...” ¹²⁴. 

Notwithstanding, I needed to learn how to divide the Scriptures rightly. Consequently, the Lord sent me to "Christ For The Nations Institute" in Dallas, Texas, where I lived. One of the reasons He chose this Institute for me was their love and support of Israel.

The apostle Paul was given a thorn into his flesh, and so was I. It has considerably curbed my elation, mistakenly interpreted as "maturity”. The thorn is furnished by carnal "Christians," not by a personal ailment. I, too, have pleaded the Lord to remove this thorn from me. I could no longer come into His Presence without weeping, so great was my yearning for the past elation, of which I was robbed by Satan's messengers .

It has rendered me more agreeable to those who do not share in the same elation. When I seem too powerful in Word, warnings and exhortations to my hearers, my enthusiasm and emotions too great, I sometimes wonder what it would be like without that damper of a thorn.

Hence I consider even Satan's thorn part of G-d's wisdom for me. Manifestly my exceeding great joy, happiness and enthusiasm in the Lord proved overwhelming for some people, who prefer a more "temperate deportment”. But after having read the three visions (as well as my personal testimony), my great zeal and love for the Lord, His Word and will, might become better understandable.

The Lord has shown very great kindness and grace toward me, and so I desire to share His goodness and blessings with others.

Therefore I shall endeavor to interpret the third vision, even though I believe that the Scripture references supplied by me suffice to explain the meaning of the visions. If their message would involve my person only, I would not share them. Since Abraham explained nearly all of the first two visions, I shall concentrate on the third one.

I encourage you, though, to first study all the Scripture references I supplied. Then, should some things still not be clear, you are welcome to inquire concerning them. I hope and pray, that those heavenly visions of Scriptural truth concerning G-d's plan of salvation will gird you up in hope, strengthen you in faith, and fortify you in the one and only true Gospel of our Lord Yeshua HaMashiach, beyond all shaking.
