Heaven Bound

On Saturday November 5th as Pennsylvania Senate candidate John Fetterman was speaking at a campaign rally in Pittsburgh a sudden gust of wind came up collapsing several American flags positioned behind him. Some reports say there were 5 flags others say 6 either way the number of flags involved make for some interesting observation. Here is a link to the video if you have not yet seen it. https://ca.sports.yahoo.com/video/wind-blows-down-american-flags-144719821.html?src=rss

Now I find it interesting that the candidate who had just began to speak appeared completely unruffled or oblivious to what had happened behind him. Fox News gives us their account:

“The moment came as the candidate mentioned campaigning with former President Barack Obama, who was touring with Fetterman to boost his chances in the race. 

As Fetterman compared former President Donald Trump to Obama, claiming that between the two, only Obama was “100% sedition-free,” at least six of the flags planted behind him toppled over in an instant”.

Hmmm …. he states that between the two (Obama and Trump) only Obama is 100% sedition-free. Really? So, what exactly is sedition?

Sedition according to Oxford Language Dictionary is “conduct or speech inciting people to rebel against the authority of a state or monarch”.

So, while the candidate wasted no time in getting a dig on the former President for the January 6th activities we have to ask ourselves …why, at this precise moment did God choose to bring down the flags behind him? It was obviously an indictment against some one … but who?

FETTER MAN

As soon as I heard the name Fetterman the following scripture came to mind.

“Why are the nations in an uproar And the people’s devising a vain thing? The rulers of the earth take their stand And the rulers take counsel together against the Lord and against his anointed, saying ‘Let us tear their fetters apart And cast their cords away from us!'” Psalm 2:3

The NAS version uses the word fetter while other versions may use the words bonds or cords. So what is a fetter? How does it differ from a bond or cord?

“A fetter is a chain or manacle used to restrain a prisoner, typically placed around the ankles … .”he lay bound with fetters of iron”

So a cord or bond could be used to restrain hands or feet while a fetter was most often used for the feet. And why would the wicked seek to be free of these fetters? Because they represent to God the spreading of the gospel. Let’s take a look at Isaiah 52:7

“How beautiful on the mountains are the feet of those who bring good news, who proclaim peace, who bring good tidings, who proclaim salvation, who say to Zion, “Your God reigns!”

But in their world- the coming new world order it is not God who will reign but them. They will bring peace …. and salvation for all who will pledge their allegiance – not to a national flag but to them our savior guardians.

Fat Man

I looked up the meaning of the name Fetterman and found out it was a low German nickname for Fat Man. https://www.4crests.com/fetterman-coat-of-arms.html#:~:text=The%20surname%20of%20FETTERMAN%20was,%2C%20FETTERS%2C%20FETTERMAN%20and%20FETTING.

Interesting! So we have the name Fetterman associated with fat man. And fat in the Bible is decidedly not good. Consider this verse from Deuteronomy 32:15

“But Jeshurun ( a poetic name for Jerusalem) grew fat and kicked—
You are grown fat, thick, and sleek—
Then he forsook God who made him,
And scorned the Rock of his salvation”.

And, Jeremiah 5:28 –

“They are fat, they are sleek,
They also excel in deeds of wickedness;
They do not plead the cause,
The cause of the orphan, that they may prosper;
And they do not defend the rights of the poor”.

America is fat! And the five fallen flags represent the America that God has previously blessed as 5 is the number of grace.

But the six fallen flags that is something much different as the number 6 is associated with human weakness, evil and sin. The America we have become.

“Fallen! Fallen is Babylon the Great!’
 She has become a dwelling for demons and a haunt for every impure spirit, and a haunt for every unclean bird, and a haunt for every unclean and detestable animal”. Revelation 18:2-3

Fat Man is also the name of the atomic bomb released over Nagasaki, Japan on August 9th 1945. Just saying….

And while Republicans may be viewing this incident as an indication that they are about to be vindicated I would think twice before breaking out the champagne and cigars … for just about everyone I’m afraid is in for a very rude awakening.

“Pray for the peace of Jerusalem they shall prosper who love thee” Psalm 122:6

Watching and waiting with YOU for the soon return of Jesus! Cindy
