PART II
Shira knew she was playing the release of the
water again and produced music that sounded like bubbling water. Then,
through settings in the string sections she proclaimed the lifting of the
veil.
10. But this time the L-RD stretched out
His hands over the dripping waters, rays of light pouring forth from His
hands. The light mingled with the rain forming brilliant drops of light.
11. Then the Spirit in me was disturbed
because thunder and lightning were required yet none came forth, as
the specific features were lacking on the keyboard.
12. However, fountains of water again
sprang up over the whole area of dry ground, and I began to pray for the
“oaks of righteousness,” the “planting of the L-RD,” to spring up, according
to Isaiah 61:3.
13. As I prayed, I suddenly saw the Lamb
of G-d in the vision. At His appearance all of heaven fell silent in utter
awe of Him. Holiness surrounded Him. It almost was a tangible sensation.
14. Loud praise then broke the silence.
Heaven seemed to reverberate from these shouts of praise to the Lamb.
15. Then blood began dripping. I saw the
Lamb having wounds from which blood dripped, and a word appeared above
the head of the Lamb: REDEMPTION!
16. Again I saw faces turned upwards toward
the Lamb and hands were raised in worship as people praised the Lamb.
17. Suddenly praises arose not only from
earth, but also from Paradise, joined by the praises in heaven. It was
one mighty song of praise to the Lamb of G-d.
18. Suddenly, as if produced by this threefold
mighty song of praise, a liquid stream poured forth from the breast of
the Lamb. I heard the Spirit say, “a stream of mercy! A stream of mercy
upon Zion!” I repeated these same words after Him.
19. As I watched, I saw young men and
women suddenly jump into and dance inside that stream of mercy from the
breast of the Lamb.
20. More and more people leaped into that
stream which seemed to expand and widen. Suddenly healing sprang up and
I was filled with an urgent longing so great it seemed my breast would
burst. Prompted by the Holy Spirit while watching the people dance in the
stream of mercy, I proclaimed at the top of my lungs, disregarding onlooking
tourists: “Liberty to the Captives! Jubilee! Jubilee! Restoration of the
Inheritance, a double portion! Prisoners of darkness, ‘Come forth!’ Oh
you who sit in the deep dungeon of darkness, ‘Appear!’ Let the blind eyes
be opened and the hardened hearts be circumcised and changed to hearts
of flesh. Heal us, O L-RD, of all of our backslidings and give us a new
heart for your Name’s sake, that we may be able to believe and be saved.
Pour out your Holy Spirit upon the gathered nation for your Name’s sake,
according to your promise!”
21. Then Shira’s playing ceased, and so
did the vision.

Achmed, our friendly helper, was with us on the
roof almost the entire time and so we hope and pray this Moslem may be
one of G-d’s own to be gathered into His Kingdom. Achmed had called his
boss who met us downstairs and apologized for the guard’s obstinacy. He
invited us back to play even for 2 hours, if we wanted to. Achmed accompanied
us again through the narrow pathway, and Yoseph & Shira blessed Achmed
liberally for his kindness.
At the end of the narrow pathway I met an old
friend and brother from Australia, dressed in his usual costume of King
David, playing on the harp and singing. Never does he stand at this
place, but this time he stood right at the entrance of the narrow
pathway to the Upper Room.
He placed a royal chaplet upon my head, directing
his song at a daughter of the King while singing of G-d’s saving mercy.
Then Naomi and Shira were also “crowned”.
How significant that “King David”, as it were,
crowned us for victory, especially in view of the fact that part of the
third Assignment included “raising up the tabernacle/succah of David.”
As we were now on our way to the third part of our Assignment, “King David”
(as it were ) was greeting and blessing us.
