THE UPROOTING OF THE BUSH

This is a correction to my paper written five and a half years ago entitled “Three Visions in a Seattle Church"

On Easter Sunday Morning, nearly five years ago, I fell asleep while attending a communion service. This church service had as its focus our expression of appreciation for the sacrificial death and glorious return to life of ALLAH’S living Word, His Risen Messiah. Immediately after falling asleep, I experienced three vivid, and sequential visions, one right after the other.

Soon, after I awake, I had no doubt that I had experienced supernatural visions from ALLAH as they were quite unlike any dreams that I had ever had. They were organized and had a theme, which vividly summarized and expanded on the writing I had been doing for the previous twenty years.

The first vision contains two parts, so it could be said that there were four visions instead of three. For all but one part of the last vision, I was quite certain of the interpretations within a few hours after I awoke. However, one detail in the last vision did not easily fit with my understanding of the meanings of the two previous visions. Nevertheless, due to my certainly as to the meaning of the first two visions as well as the majority of the meaning of the last vision, I now realize, that I probably erred in my understanding of one part of the last vision. That is, I forced what I did not understand to fit with what I was certain that I did understand.

Now, however, I am only 20% convinced that my first interpretation of vision #3 was mostly correct and 70% convinced that my new understanding is more correct than my former understanding. The missing 10% is my acknowledgement that my understanding of vision three may still remain partially incomplete and possibly has an interpretation, which I have not yet considered.

I will not review the first two visions, as they are available on this web site under the title of “Three Visions In a Seattle Church.” So with this addition now available on the same web site, I have decided not to alter the interpretations of all three visions as I originally commented on them. Also, it must be emphasized that my new understanding of one part of vision three does not change the main message of the three visions.

I personally consider that this main message is that multitudes in Islam will soon acknowledging that the Qur’an does actually teach that the Messiah did die but defeated death and Jewish plans to end his life forever by coming back to life. I also remain convinced that this truth is more important than the soon uprooting of U.S. President George W. Bush from the Middle East.

In the third vision, the straight road that I was shown still figuratively represents the Straight Path of Islam. However, it is what I previously referred to as the small green bush or tree about which I have now mostly changed my mind.

I now believe that I previously represented this bush or small tree that had broken through the edge of the straight road or straight path of Islam incorrectly. Because I put the emphasize on it being a tree rather than a bush, I concluded that it represented the Risen Christ and those who had come to believe in him, who remained part of the Straight Path of Islam.

Now, however, I think that I forced that interpretation because I incorrectly convinced myself that what looked more like a bush than a tree was actually a tree. But, because the vision happened rapidly, I was just not sure. Now*********** that George W. Bush has strongly entered the picture, it has become more important for me to admit that it is much more likely that I was shown a bush rather a tree. This was made easier to finally acknowledge because I vividly recall that just as the violent and rapid peeling back of the edge of the straight path of Islam was approaching the green bush or tree, I instinctively said to myself, oh I hope the bush does not get ripped up.” But an instant before the rapid peeling back of the edge of the road reached the bush, I awake and never knew what happened to the vulnerable bush.

Nevertheless, because a tree more conveniently fit my interpretation of all three visions, in my writing I referred to it as a bush or a tree and then preceded to interpret it as though it was a tree which represented the Risen Isa and his followers.

Now, I am convinced that the interpretation of the bush being a tree was quite possibly incorrect. Now I have become convinced that the bush probably represents a relatively young and inexperienced George W. Bush. Since the vision revealed that he had grown through the edge of the straight road or straight path of Islam, we must ask how that fits with today’s realities.

Since the tragic events of all 9/11, George W. Bush has been intimately involved with Islam as no U. S. president before him. He has made numerous visits to Mosques and Islamic organizations and has had many visits at the White House from Muslim dignitaries. Due to his administration’s enthusiasm for eventually invading Iraq, members of his administration have had an unprecedented number of visits with Muslim leaders both in the U.S. and in their home countries.

President Bush himself has spoken quite affectionately about the strong personal bond he established with the acting Monarch of Saudi Arabia when the Saudi delegation visited him at his Texas Ranch. The small break through in the Path of Islam represented by the bush penetrating through the straight road is also currently representing by how forcefully his administration is inserting itself into the predominantly Muslim Middle East by threatening to take over the oil fields of both predominantly Muslim Iraq and Muslim Saudi Arabia. Additionally, the U.S. is more openly attempting to interfere with the internal affairs of predominantly Muslim, Egypt, And other Muslim nations and their leaders are receiving more direct arm twisting from an aggressive U.S. as it seeks to coerce and manipulate them to be more supportive of a broad variety of U.S. policies which concerns the Palestinians, the Israelis and invading Iraq, thus rearranging the political power structure of the entire Middle East. Of course any attempt by the Bush Administration to invade Iraq could raise the involvement of his Administration with Muslim nations in an unprecedented way with the strong potential for exceptionally negative upheaval.

Therefore, for reasons beyond my comprehension, the Almighty caused a miracle to occur in my mind. One of His most insignificant servants was allowed to see a vision of what will probably happen to President George Bush unless he and his administration retreat very son from their arrogance regarding the predominantly Muslim Middle East. Since the vision was suddenly discontinued an instant before the invisible force, which I am convinced represents the fact that the Holy Spirit of ALLAH was either causing or allowing the edge of the straight road to violently rip the Bush up from the ground along with the edge of the road, I assume that not actually seeing it happen had an implied meaning. I believe that it meant that a change in circumstances could still alter the violent end of the Bush’s involvement with Islam and the Middle East. Nevertheless I am not certain if the violent end of the Bush with Islam is not already a foregone conclusion- a fait compile. But it was definite that the Bush would have been violently uprooted if the vision would have continued for even another instant before it abruptly ended. (In my earlier interpretation when I assumed that the small bush-like tree was actually a tree representing the Risen Messiah and Muslim believers in him rather than being an actual bush, I also made another assumption.

I assumed that the roots of what I had decided was a tree would have been so deep and strong because it represented ALLAH’S Risen Messiah, that it would have survived the peeling away of the edge of the straight road representing Islam. But the roots of a bush had absolutely no chance to resist the violent and rapid peeling back, which I observed.

But now that I am convinced that I was not shown a tree but was rather shown a bush, my own conclusion is alarming. I am convinced that the Omniscient ALLAH has allowed me to see a preview, which reveals that when a relatively sudden change occurs in Islam which introduces new honor to the Risen Messiah, it is accompanied by shocking circumstances for President George W. Bush and the entire American administration and therefore the American. Unless there is an unforeseen and unexpected change in the arrogant attitudes of most influential American leaders toward the Muslim dominated Middle East, they will soon be uprooted from their influence here. (I say here because I am writing this while visiting the beautiful Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan.) I can only guess how the violent and sudden ripping up of the Bush will affect the U.S.’s present firm control of Middle Eastern oil but I cannot imagine that it will be positive for the U.S. and its self appointed leadership of the world. So the future repercussions that this uprooting of the U.S. Administration from the Middle East will have for the future of the U.S. and its economy as well as its preeminence in world affairs, cannot be underestimated.

As a relatively insignificant American, I would be much more comfortable if I had not experienced this significant revelation of what appears to be in store for my own nation. On the other hand I acknowledge that I am not at all surprised by what appears to be this visions terribly sobering message. Because I have again and again been absolutely frightened for the future of our nation when I have repeatedly witnessed on T.V. the unbridled arrogance of most U.S. leaders and other experts regarding how they assume the U.S. is so superior to all the other nations of the world. And adding to my fear for the future of my nation was the concise word from ALLAH, which I received in September of 1990 while on a prayer walk in the University District of Seattle Washington. The words were:

“The American Administration planned for (or wanted) Iraq to invade Kuwait.”

As a result of this “word from ALLAH” hundreds of influential people throughout the world as well as most U.S. Senators and congresspersons received my comprehensive poem regarding the root causes of the Gulf War entitled “The President Plan” to which I received many serious replies.

Virtually every time I witness this unpleasant arrogance of influential Americans on T.V., I ask ALLAH and myself how much longer He will allow this obscene assumption of U.S. superiority to continue.

The only answer that I receive is that my mind sometimes recalls a verse from the Prophet Daniel that I memorized over forty years ago. It was a penetrating observation made by a humbled King Nebuchadnezzer immediately after he had recovered from a massive mental break down during which he lost what the world’s greatest kingdom that king Nebuchad nezzer ruled is today’s Iraq which the U.S. is now arrogantly threatening and about which Israel has publicly revealed that it is weighing the circumstances under which it would visit Iraq with unclear eradication. Need we ask from whom Israel learned such arrogance?

Significantly, King Nebuchadnezzer received a second chance after recovering from the total mental collapse that ALLAH visited upon him due to his extreme arrogance towards God and man.

Will the U.S. get a similar second chance if we waste this chance to rid our selves of presumptions and nauseating arrogance/ I doubt it.

“Now I Nebuchadnezzer, praise and extol and honor the King of Heaven, all whose works are truth and his ways judgment, and those who walk in pride He is able to abase.” (From the prophet Daniel)

Does the U.S. walk in pride?
Is ALLAH strong enough to Abase the mighty U.S.?
Is the same ALLAH who revealed this eternal truth to this Babylonian King still alive and active today?
Does ALLAH still detest arrogance?

If the answers to these four questions is “yes”, it would appear the mighty U.S. is in serious trouble whether any one does or does not believe one insignificant person had a vision from ALLAH about a bush being ripped up.
