Today I woke up to the news story that Chile is suffering from yet another natural disaster…a raging fire that is engulfing the Valparaiso area.
I have been asking God lately..."Why so much stuff
going on in Chile?" They've had an earthquake, a tsunami and
a volcano come alive (all in the last 30 days). Now there's a raging
fire.
This morning it hit me between the eyes:
The name "Chile" comes from the trill of a warbler bird
that makes a sound like "Cheele-Cheele".
From Wikipedia:
Other theories
say Chile may derive its name from a Native
American word meaning
either "ends of the earth" or from the Mapuche
word chilli, which may mean "where the land
ends;" or "the deepest point of the Earth". Another
origin attributed to chilli is the onomatopoeic cheele-cheele—the
Mapuche imitation of the warble of a bird locally known as trile.
The Greater Valparaíso metropolitan
area includes Valparaíso, Viña del Mar, Quilpué and Villa Alemana)
Look at the
apocalyptic Meaning of these names!
Valparaiso = "val," meaning valley; the other is "paraiso," meaning paradise.
Or THE VALLEY OF
PARADISE! We are in the Valley of the
Shadow of Death but on our way to Paradise.
Vina del Mar
= Wine of the Sea (Grapes of Wrath stomped out from Sea of Apostasy)
Quilpue =
The origin of
the name Quilpué comes from the word “Culpeo”
(which means“turtledove”)
Villa Alemana = House of ALL MEN
Then God had me remember the miners in the Coal mine (occurred in
2010) and how that gripped the attention of the entire world. We watched
men being pulled up from the bowels of the Earth, facing almost certain Death.
It was like mini-Resurrections each time one of the men came up alive.
God is sending us a distinct prophetic message: Chile is THE
CANARY IN THE COAL MINE.
We are about to enter a time a great danger. Poisonous,
toxic, obnoxious gases (spiritual forces) from the bowels of the Earth are
being released in the spiritual world. Unless we get out of the abyss, we
are all going to die. The resurrected Christ is the "fresh air"
that the world needs at this time! That is our ONLY
salvation/deliverance option. Just like those men got into a tiny tube
like elevator (signifies both Death, tomb and the Birth canal) and passed
through suffocating darkness---then SUDDENLY they were "reborn."!
We need to stop preaching nonsense and the latest "spiritual
fad" and just get back to preaching the Beauty of the Gospel/Cross.
For I am not ashamed of the
gospel, because it is the power of God that brings salvation to everyone who
believes: first to the Jew, then to the Gentile.
~Romans
1:16
I think The Message version of the Bible sometimes says it so
plainly:
1 Corinthians 2
The
Message (MSG)
2 1-2 You’ll remember, friends,
that when I first came to you to let you in on God’s master stroke, I didn’t
try to impress you with polished speeches and the
latest philosophy. I deliberately kept it plain and simple: first Jesus and who he
is; then Jesus and what he did—Jesus
crucified.
3-5 I was unsure of how to go about this, and felt
totally inadequate—I was scared to death, if you want the truth of it—and so
nothing I said could have impressed you or anyone else. But the Message came
through anyway. God’s Spirit and God’s power did it, which made it clear that
your life of faith is a response to God’s power, not to some fancy mental or emotional footwork by me or anyone else.
REPENT!...for the Kingdom of God is at hand!
The flowers appear on
the earth, the time of singing has come, and the voice of the turtledove is
heard in our land.
~Song of Solomon 2:12
