In late September of 2024, I was given a vision in my bedroom. It appeared at the top of my bed, as I was laying down in the middle of the day. It sort of etched itself in the wall. And it wasn’t large. It was kinda tiny.
It was as follows:
Now, I can’t draw. And the LORD made the image simple enough that I could draw it in at least a reasonable way. I would realize later that this image reflected a coin.
I do not remember the date that image appeared to me.
Sometime shortly after that, the LORD would send me another image. Except this time, the image was giant, and on a concrete wall in a parking lot at my place of employment. And that image was an image of the Face of JESUS CHRIST. He has one eye, and he is looking straight ahead. On his head is his crown of thorns. It’s worth noting that the image of the coin was facing East and the image of Christ was facing West.
Because of how that particular day panned out, I was able to identify the date of the appearence of this image as Friday, October 4th, 2024. I’m not a bright or quick person, so it took me over a year and half (and not without the prompting of the LORD) to realize that the date that image emerged on was also Rosh Hashana aka the Feast of Trumpets.
The LORD made sure that I could identify the date of his appearence, but left no trail of the appearence of the other image. Make of that what you will.
The closet thing that I’ve seen to anything that resembles that image is the following:
This image would emerge around a year later in 2025, and has a face looking in the same direction in a similar disposition.
Again, make of that what you will.
May the LORD reveal what is hidden, and may HE have mercy on us all.
Similarities between the images:
Both images appeared in front of me. Not to the side, or even slightly angled. They both appeared directly in front of me.
They were both heads, and hothing but heads. The emphasis seems to point to two different types of headship.
They were both placed on walls or structures of some sort.
Neither image was looking at me.
The were both images. That is not insignificant. The LORD revealed both of these things specifically as images.
They both had only one eye. In each case, the eye would have been the right one.
That’s about complete’s the similarities as I remember them. If I see or the Holy Spirit reveals any other significant points, I will add as the happen or as needed.
Differences between the images:
Size and permanence of the image:
The image of the item that I would later come to recognize as a coin was not very large at all. About the size of a Half Dollar or so. It was not there, and then it was there, and then it disappeared. I was not able to recreate it with my imagination, nor did it ever appear again.
By contrast, the image of CHRIST was humungous. It took up the entire space of the wall that I was looking at. It was there when I stepped out of my car, so in a way paralleling the term ‘appeared’ is not entirely accurate. The first image ‘appeared.’ Meaning, I was staring at the wall, and then it was there, and then it wasn’t. That did not happen with this image. I got out of my car, I looked up, and there, directly in front of me, was the face of CHRIST. Again, this image was not looking at me, it was looking straight ahead. The image was there when I looked up, and it never disappeared. I stared at it for some time, unsure of what I was to do with it. It did not ‘appear’ or ‘disppear’ at any point. It was there when I arrived, and it remained there as I walked away.
Profile and direction:
The first image-the one of the coin-as one can see, was looking to what would have been my right. The cardnial direction that it was facing was to the EAST.
The second image-the One of CHRIST, again was facing straight ahead. Unlike the first image, I was directly confronted with it, even though it wasn’t looking directly at me. The cardinal direction that it was facing was WEST.
There are many implications of this contrast, but the most important one, is that the images are facing opposite directions. They are either looking directly at one another, or away from one another and there is no other option.
Strucural associations
As previously stated, I would later come to recognize the first image as the head of a coin, but not because there were any circles around it. It was simply designed to look like the head on a coin. Possibly indicating some type of relationship to a worldy money system of some type. It was placed on a wall in my bedroom, at my home, where I sleep. The material that it was placed on was drywall, very likley something someone could punch through if they were determined enough.
The second image was placed on a concrete wall in a parking lot. Concrete. There were no additional implications to be associated with it, it wasn’t a coin or tied to any other type of structure or system. It stood alone in it’s power and it’s glory.
Time and precision of appearence:
Again, as previously mentioned, I do not remember the date or relative time or the appearence of the first image. I tried, in several ways, and several times to figure it out, but the LORD left no trail for me to understand or discover that. What I am left with is an image that came and went, with no awareness of when it came and when it went, just that it did.
By contrast, the LORD placed several markers for me to identify the day and time of when the image of his face appeared. The image of his face appeared during the final day of Feast of Trumpets on Friday, October 4th, 2024. Additionally, while I did not realize this at the time, it was also appearing on a Friday, in afternoon before the start of the Sabbath Day. I did not understand or concern myself with the significance of the Sabbath Day at the time.
Facial Details:
As you can see above, the first image has eyes with no eyeballs. That is the image as I remember it. I do think this would imply several possiblities. The first is, if you see a thing being pointed at with no eyeballs, that thing may not be your friend or ally. The second thing worth noting, is that the ability for an eye to actually see is located in it’s pupil. This thing has no pupil. So no matter what it make look like, this thing is blind. Something has blinded it, and/or it’s blinding something. It’s mouth is open, wide open. It’s speaking. And whatever it’s speaking, it’s doing so with no eyes.
By contrast, JESUS eye abolutely had a full eye, pupil and all. He could SEE. And again, he was not looking at me. He was looking straight ahead. Not to the left or to the right, but stright ahead. His mouth was closed, and he was not speaking. And on him he wore his Crown of Thorns.
Additionally, it is worth noting that despite the fact that the coin image was a side profile, it had no ears. Jesus, of course, did.
PRAY on these details. PRAY that the LORD reveals to you what he wills and only what he wills. May the LORD have mercy on us all.
Some Scriptural Reflections:
On images
“Then God said, “Let us make man in our image, after our likeness. And let them have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over the livestock and over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.” So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them. “(Genesis 1:26-27)
“And have put on the new self, which is being renewed in knowledge after the image of its creator.” (Colossians 3:10)
“And we all, with unveiled face, beholding the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from one degree of glory to another. For this comes from the Lord who is the Spirit.” (2 Corinthians 3:18)
“He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation.” (Colossians 1:15)
“Whoever sheds the blood of man, by man shall his blood be shed, for God made man in his own image.” (Genesis 9:6)
“He is the radiance of the glory of God and the exact imprint of his nature, and he upholds the universe by the word of his power. After making purification for sins, he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high” (Hebrews 1:3)
“This is the book of the generations of Adam. When God created man, he made him in the likeness of God.” (Genesis 5:1)
“You shall not make for yourself a carved image, or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth. You shall not bow down to them or serve them, for I the Lord your God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children to the third and the fourth generation of those who hate me, but showing steadfast love to thousands of those who love me and keep my commandments.” (Exodus 20: 4-6
“Then he said to me, ‘Son of man, lift up your eyes now toward the north.’ So I lifted up my eyes toward the north, and behold, north of the altar gate, in the entrance, was this image of jealousy.” Ezekiel 8:5
“Then I saw another beast rising out of the earth. It had two horns like a lamb and it spoke like a dragon. It exercises all the authority of the first beast in its presence, and makes the earth and its inhabitants worship the first beast, whose mortal wound was healed. It performs great signs, even making fire come down from heaven to earth in front of people, and by the signs that it is allowed to work in the presence of the beast it deceives those who dwell on earth, telling them to make an image for the beast that was wounded by the sword and yet lived. And it was allowed to give breath to the image of the beast, so that the image of the beast might even speak and might cause those who would not worship the image of the beast to be slain. ...”-Revelations 13:11-18
On heads and faces:
“And he put all things under his feet and gave him as head over all things to the church, which is his body, the fullness of him who fills all in all” (Eph. 1:22-23).
“For the husband is the head of the wife as Christ is the head of the church, his body, of which he is the Savior” (Eph. 5:23).
“He is before all things, and in him all things hold together. And he is the head of the body, the church; he is the beginning and the firstborn from among the dead, so that in everything he might have the supremacy” (Col. 1:17-18).
“For in Christ all the fullness of the Deity lives in bodily form, and you have been given fullness in Christ, who is the head over every power and authority” (Col. 2:9-10).
3 He answered, “Haven’t you read what David did when he and his companions were hungry? 4 He entered the house of God, and he and his companions ate the consecrated bread—which was not lawful for them to do, but only for the priests. 5 Or haven’t you read in the Law that the priests on Sabbath duty in the temple desecrate the Sabbath and yet are innocent? 6 I tell you that something greater than the temple is here. 7 If you had known what these words mean, ‘I desire mercy, not sacrifice,’[a] you would not have condemned the innocent. 8 For the Son of Man is Lord of the Sabbath.” (Matthew 12:3-8)
The Beast out of the Sea-Revelations 13: 1-10
13 The dragon[a] stood on the shore of the sea. And I saw a beast coming out of the sea. It had ten horns and seven heads, with ten crowns on its horns, and on each head a blasphemous name. 2 The beast I saw resembled a leopard, but had feet like those of a bear and a mouth like that of a lion. The dragon gave the beast his power and his throne and great authority. 3 One of the heads of the beast seemed to have had a fatal wound, but the fatal wound had been healed. The whole world was filled with wonder and followed the beast. 4 People worshiped the dragon because he had given authority to the beast, and they also worshiped the beast and asked, “Who is like the beast? Who can wage war against it?”
5 The beast was given a mouth to utter proud words and blasphemies and to exercise its authority for forty-two months. 6 It opened its mouth to blaspheme God, and to slander his name and his dwelling place and those who live in heaven. 7 It was given power to wage war against God’s holy people and to conquer them. And it was given authority over every tribe, people, language and nation. 8 All inhabitants of the earth will worship the beast—all whose names have not been written in the Lamb’s book of life, the Lamb who was slain from the creation of the world.[b]
9 Whoever has ears, let them hear.
10 “If anyone is to go into captivity,
into captivity they will go.
If anyone is to be killed[c] with the sword,
with the sword they will be killed.”[d]
This calls for patient endurance and faithfulness on the part of God’s people
“The Lord spoke to Moses, saying, “Speak to Aaron and his sons, saying, Thus you shall bless the people of Israel: you shall say to them, The Lord bless you and keep you; the Lord make his face to shine upon you and be gracious to you; the Lord lift up his countenance upon you and give you peace. ...”-Numers 6:22-27
“Do not repay evil for evil or reviling for reviling, but on the contrary, bless, for to this you were called, that you may obtain a blessing. For “Whoever desires to love life and see good days, let him keep his tongue from evil and his lips from speaking deceit; let him turn away from evil and do good; let him seek peace and pursue it. For the eyes of the Lord are on the righteous, and his ears are open to their prayer. But the face of the Lord is against those who do evil.”-1 Peter 3:9-12
“If a person turns to mediums and necromancers, whoring after them, I will set my face against that person and will cut him off from among his people. Consecrate yourselves, therefore, and be holy, for I am the Lord your God.” Leveticus 20: 6-7
“A false witness will perish, but the word of a man who hears will endure. A wicked man puts on a bold face, but the upright gives thought to his ways. No wisdom, no understanding, no counsel can avail against the Lord. The horse is made ready for the day of battle, but the victory belongs to the Lord.”-Proverbs 21:28-31
“The eyes of the Lord are toward the righteous and his ears toward their cry. The face of the Lord is against those who do evil, to cut off the memory of them from the earth. When the righteous cry for help, the Lord hears and delivers them out of all their troubles.” Psalm 34: 15-17
“Hear, O Lord, when I cry aloud; be gracious to me and answer me! You have said, ‘Seek my face.’ My heart says to you, ‘Your face, Lord, do I seek.’ Hide not your face from me. Turn not your servant away in anger, O you who have been my help. Cast me not off; forsake me not, O God of my salvation!”-Psalm 27:7-9
“You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; you anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life, and I shall dwell in the house of the Lord forever.” Psalm 23:5-6
The Parable of the Lost Coin
8 “Or suppose a woman has ten silver coins[a] and loses one. Doesn’t she light a lamp, sweep the house and search carefully until she finds it? 9 And when she finds it, she calls her friends and neighbors together and says, ‘Rejoice with me; I have found my lost coin.’ 10 In the same way, I tell you, there is rejoicing in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner who repents.”(Luke 15:8-10)
“The Philistine officials approached her and told her, "Entice him to discover where his great strength is, and how we can overpower him. We intend to tie him up and torture him. We'll each pay you 1,100 silver coins." (Judges 16:5)
“Instruction that comes from you is better for me than thousands of gold and silver coins.” Psalms 119:72
The Parable of the Unmerciful Servant
21 Then Peter came to Jesus and asked, “Lord, how many times shall I forgive my brother or sister who sins against me? Up to seven times?”
22 Jesus answered, “I tell you, not seven times, but seventy-seven times.[g]
23 “Therefore, the kingdom of heaven is like a king who wanted to settle accounts with his servants. 24 As he began the settlement, a man who owed him ten thousand bags of gold[h] was brought to him. 25 Since he was not able to pay, the master ordered that he and his wife and his children and all that he had be sold to repay the debt.
26 “At this the servant fell on his knees before him. ‘Be patient with me,’ he begged, ‘and I will pay back everything.’ 27 The servant’s master took pity on him, canceled the debt and let him go.
28 “But when that servant went out, he found one of his fellow servants who owed him a hundred silver coins.[i] He grabbed him and began to choke him. ‘Pay back what you owe me!’ he demanded.
29 “His fellow servant fell to his knees and begged him, ‘Be patient with me, and I will pay it back.’
30 “But he refused. Instead, he went off and had the man thrown into prison until he could pay the debt. 31 When the other servants saw what had happened, they were outraged and went and told their master everything that had happened.
32 “Then the master called the servant in. ‘You wicked servant,’ he said, ‘I canceled all that debt of yours because you begged me to. 33 Shouldn’t you have had mercy on your fellow servant just as I had on you?’ 34 In anger his master handed him over to the jailers to be tortured, until he should pay back all he owed.
35 “This is how my heavenly Father will treat each of you unless you forgive your brother or sister from your heart.”
(Matthew 18:21-35)
“and said, ‘What will you give me to betray him into your hands?’ So they set out thirty silver coins for him.”-(Matthew 26:15)
3 When Judas, who had betrayed him, saw that Jesus was condemned, he was seized with remorse and returned the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and the elders. 4 “I have sinned,” he said, “for I have betrayed innocent blood.”
“What is that to us?” they replied. “That’s your responsibility.”
5 So Judas threw the money into the temple and left. Then he went away and hanged himself.
6 The chief priests picked up the coins and said, “It is against the law to put this into the treasury, since it is blood money.”-(Matthew 27:3-6)
The Widow’s Offering
21 As Jesus looked up, he saw the rich putting their gifts into the temple treasury. 2 He also saw a poor widow put in two very small copper coins. 3 “Truly I tell you,” he said, “this poor widow has put in more than all the others. 4 All these people gave their gifts out of their wealth; but she out of her poverty put in all she had to live on.” (Luke 21:1-4)
Moreover, many people who had practiced occult arts gathered their books and burned them in front of everybody. They estimated their value and found them to have been worth 50,000 silver coins. (Acts 19:19)
11 As they were listening to this, Jesus[a] went on to tell a parable because he was near Jerusalem and because the people[b] thought that the kingdom of God would appear immediately. 12 So he said, “A prince went to a distant country to be appointed king and then to return. 13 He called ten of his servants and gave them ten coins.[c] He told them, ‘Invest this money until I come back.’ 14 But the citizens of his country hated him and sent a delegation to follow him and to announce, ‘We don’t want this man to rule over us!’
15 “After he was appointed king, the prince[d] came back. He ordered the servants to whom he had given the money to be called so he could find out what they had earned by investing. 16 The first servant[e] came and said, ‘Sir, your coin has earned ten more coins.’ 17 The king[f] told him, ‘Well done, good servant! Because you have been trustworthy in a very small thing, take charge of ten cities.’
18 “The second servant[g] came and said, ‘Your coin, sir, has earned five coins.’ 19 The king[h] told him, ‘You take charge of five cities.’
20 “Then the other servant[i] came and said, ‘Sir, look! Here’s your coin. I’ve kept it in a cloth for safekeeping 21 because I was afraid of you. You are a hard man. You withdraw what you didn’t deposit and harvest what you didn’t plant.’ 22 The king[j] told him, ‘I will judge you by your own words, you evil servant! You knew, did you, that I was a hard man, and that I withdraw what I didn’t deposit and harvest what I didn’t plant? 23 Then why didn’t you put my money in the bank? When I returned, I could have collected it with interest.’
24 “So the king[k] told those standing nearby, ‘Take the coin away from him and give it to the man who has the ten coins.’ 25 They answered him, ‘Sir, he already[l] has ten coins!’ 26 ‘I tell you, to everyone who has something, more will be given, but from the person who has nothing, even what he has will be taken away. 27 But as for these enemies of mine who didn’t want me to be their king—bring them here and slaughter them in my presence!’”
Matthew 17:24 When they had come to Capernaum, those who received the temple tax came to Peter and said, "Does your Teacher not pay the temple tax?" 25 He said, "Yes." And when he had come into the house, Jesus anticipated him, saying, "What do you think, Simon? From whom do the kings of the earth take customs or taxes, from their sons or from strangers?" 26 Peter said to Him, "From strangers." Jesus said to him, "Then the sons are free. 27 Nevertheless, lest we offend them, go to the sea, cast in a hook, and take the fish that comes up first. And when you have opened its mouth, you will find a piece of money; take that and give it to them for Me and you."
A Question about Paying Taxes
15 Then the Pharisees went and planned how to trap Jesus[f] in conversation. 16 They sent their disciples to him along with the Herodians.[g] They said, “Teacher, we know that you are sincere and that you teach the way of God truthfully. You don’t favor any individual, because you pay no attention to external appearance. 17 So tell us what you think. Is it lawful to pay taxes to Caesar or not?”
18 Recognizing their wickedness, Jesus asked, “Why are you testing me, you hypocrites? 19 Show me the coin used for the tax.”
They brought him a denarius.[h] 20 Then he asked them, “Whose face and name is this?”
So he told them, “Then give back to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s, and to God the things that are God’s.”
22 When they heard this, they were amazed. Then they left him and went away.
(Matthew 22:15-22)
“15 The second beast[a] was allowed to impart life to the image of the first[b] beast so that the image of the beast could talk and order the execution of those who would not worship the image of the beast. 16 The second beast[c] forces all people—important and unimportant, rich and poor, free and slaves—to be marked on their right hands or on their foreheads, 17 so that no one may buy or sell unless he has the mark, which is the beast’s name or the number of its name.
18 In this case wisdom is needed: Let the person who has understanding calculate the total of the beast, since it is a human multitude, and the sum of the multitude is 600, 60, and six.”-(Revelations 13:15-18)
14 The weight of the gold that Solomon received yearly was 666 talents,[a] 15 not including the revenues from merchants and traders and from all the Arabian kings and the governors of the territories.-(Kings 10: 14-15)
On foundations and stone:
"So this is what the Sovereign LORD says: “See, I lay a stone in Zion, a tested stone, a precious cornerstone for a sure foundation; the one who relies on it will never be stricken with panic.”-Isaiah 28:16
“19 Consequently, you are no longer foreigners and strangers, but fellow citizens with God’s people and also members of his household, 20 built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, with Christ Jesus himself as the chief cornerstone. 21 In him the whole building is joined together and rises to become a holy temple in the Lord. 22 And in him you too are being built together to become a dwelling in which God lives by his Spirit.” Ephesians 2:19-22
The Living Stone and a Chosen People
4 As you come to him, the living Stone—rejected by humans but chosen by God and precious to him— 5 you also, like living stones, are being built into a spiritual house[a] to be a holy priesthood, offering spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ. 6 For in Scripture it says:
“See, I lay a stone in Zion,
a chosen and precious cornerstone,
and the one who trusts in him
will never be put to shame.”[b]
(1 Peter 2:4-6)
The Wise and Foolish Builders
“24 “Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock. 25 The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house; yet it did not fall, because it had its foundation on the rock.”-(Matthew 7: 24-25)
“11 For no one can lay any foundation other than the one already laid, which is Jesus Christ.” - 1 Corinthians 3:11:
“19 Nevertheless, God’s solid foundation stands firm, sealed with this inscription: “The Lord knows those who are his,” and, “Everyone who confesses the name of the Lord must turn away from wickedness.”-
*For note, I was and am not good at this, and there have been and will continue to be consequences to pay. It does not mean he does not LOVE me. It does not mean he is not with me. It does not mean he does not forgive me. It does mean, play in Satan’s playground, suffer Satan’s consequences. Of this, I am guilty. Even after knowing the LORD. So, I accept any and all consequences thereof.
“The stone the builders rejected
has become the cornerstone;”-(Psalm 118:22)
10 Haven’t you read this passage of Scripture:
“‘The stone the builders rejected
has become the cornerstone;-(Mark 20:10)
The Sabbath
12 Then the Lord said to Moses, 13 “Say to the Israelites, ‘You must observe my Sabbaths. This will be a sign between me and you for the generations to come, so you may know that I am the Lord, who makes you holy.
14 “‘Observe the Sabbath, because it is holy to you. Anyone who desecrates it is to be put to death; those who do any work on that day must be cut off from their people. 15 For six days work is to be done, but the seventh day is a day of sabbath rest, holy to the Lord. Whoever does any work on the Sabbath day is to be put to death. 16 The Israelites are to observe the Sabbath, celebrating it for the generations to come as a lasting covenant. 17 It will be a sign between me and the Israelites forever, for in six days the Lord made the heavens and the earth, and on the seventh day he rested and was refreshed.’”
18 When the Lord finished speaking to Moses on Mount Sinai, he gave him the two tablets of the covenant law, the tablets of stone inscribed by the finger of God.-”Exodus 21:12-18”
On eyes, sight and blindness:
“But whoever hates his brother is in the darkness and walks in the darkness, and does not know where he is going, because the darkness has blinded his eyes.” 1 John 2:11
“Let them alone; they are blind guides. And if the blind lead the blind, both will fall into a pit.” Matthew 15:14
“For at one time you were darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Walk as children of light” Ephesians 5:8
“This is why I speak to them in parables, because seeing they do not see, and hearing they do not hear, nor do they understand. Indeed, in their case the prophecy of Isaiah is fulfilled that says: “‘“You will indeed hear but never understand, and you will indeed see but never perceive.” For this people's heart has grown dull, and with their ears they can barely hear, and their eyes they have closed, lest they should see with their eyes and hear with their ears and understand with their heart and turn, and I would heal them.’ But blessed are your eyes, for they see, and your ears, for they hear.”-Matthew 13:13-18
“For you say, I am rich, I have prospered, and I need nothing, not realizing that you are wretched, pitiable, poor, blind, and naked.”-Revelation 3:17
“The eye is the lamp of the body. So, if your eye is healthy, your whole body will be full of light,”-(Matthew 6:22)
“In their case the god of this world has blinded the minds of the unbelievers, to keep them from seeing the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God.” -(2 Corinthians 4:4)
“But I say to you that everyone who looks at a woman with lustful intent has already committed adultery with her in his heart.”-(Mattew 5:28)
“Haughty eyes and a proud heart, the lamp of the wicked, are sin.”-(Proverbs 21:4)
“And immediately something like scales fell from his eyes, and he regained his sight. Then he rose and was baptized” Acts 9:18
*Note: So guilty
“The hearing ear and the seeing eye, the Lord has made them both.” Proverbs 20:12
“If your right eye causes you to sin, tear it out and throw it away. For it is better that you lose one of your members than that your whole body be thrown into hell.”-Matthew 5:29
“No one after lighting a lamp puts it in a cellar or under a basket, but on a stand, so that those who enter may see the light. Your eye is the lamp of your body. When your eye is healthy, your whole body is full of light, but when it is bad, your body is full of darkness. Therefore be careful lest the light in you be darkness. If then your whole body is full of light, having no part dark, it will be wholly bright, as when a lamp with its rays gives you light.”-Luke 11:33-36
“Then a demon-oppressed man who was blind and mute was brought to him, and he healed him, so that the man spoke and saw.” -(Matthew 12:22)
“But the Lord said to Samuel, “Do not look on his appearance or on the height of his stature, because I have ‘rejected him. For the Lord sees not as man sees: man looks on the outward appearance, but the Lord looks on the heart.’”-1 Samuel 16:7
“Open my eyes, that I may behold wondrous things out of your law.” Psalm 119:18
“To open their eyes, so that they may turn from darkness to light and from the power of Satan to God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins and a place among those who are sanctified by faith in me.’” -Acts 26:18
“As he drew near to Jericho, a blind man was sitting by the roadside begging. And hearing a crowd going by, he inquired what this meant. They told him, “Jesus of Nazareth is passing by.” And he cried out, ‘Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!’”-Luke 18:35-38
“The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.”-John 1:5
“So that the word spoken by the prophet Isaiah might be fulfilled: “Lord, who has believed what he heard from us, and to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed?” Therefore they could not believe. For again Isaiah said, “He has blinded their eyes and hardened their heart, lest they see with their eyes, and understand with their heart, and turn, and I would heal them.” Isaiah said these things because he saw his glory and spoke of him.” John 12: 38-41
If we say we have fellowship with him while we walk in darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth. 1 John 1:6

Daniel 7:8-28
8“While I was contemplating the horns, behold, another horn, a little one, came up among them, and three of the first horns were pulled out by the roots before it; and behold, this horn possessed eyes like the eyes of a man and a mouth uttering great boasts.
The Ancient of Days Reigns
9“I kept looking
Until thrones were set up,
And the Ancient of Days took His seat;
His vesture was like white snow
And the hair of His head like pure wool.
His throne was ablaze with flames,
Its wheels were a burning fire.
10“A river of fire was flowing
And coming out from before Him;
Thousands upon thousands were attending Him,
And myriads upon myriads were standing before Him;
The court sat,
And the books were opened.
11“Then I kept looking because of the sound of the boastful words which the horn was speaking; I kept looking until the beast was slain, and its body was destroyed and given to the burning fire. 12“As for the rest of the beasts, their dominion was taken away, but an extension of life was granted to them for an appointed period of time.
The Son of Man Presented
13“I kept looking in the night visions,
And behold, with the clouds of heaven
One like a Son of Man was coming,
And He came up to the Ancient of Days
And was presented before Him.
14“And to Him was given dominion,
Glory and a kingdom,
That all the peoples, nations and men of every language
Might serve Him.
His dominion is an everlasting dominion
Which will not pass away;
And His kingdom is one
Which will not be destroyed.
The Vision Interpreted
15“As for me, Daniel, my spirit was distressed within me, and the visions in my mind kept alarming me. 16“I approached one of those who were standing by and began asking him the exact meaning of all this. So he told me and made known to me the interpretation of these things: 17‘These great beasts, which are four in number, are four kings who will arise from the earth. 18‘But the saints of the Highest One will receive the kingdom and possess the kingdom forever, for all ages to come.’
19“Then I desired to know the exact meaning of the fourth beast, which was different from all the others, exceedingly dreadful, with its teeth of iron and its claws of bronze, and which devoured, crushed and trampled down the remainder with its feet, 20and the meaning of the ten horns that were on its head and the other horn which came up, and before which three of them fell, namely, that horn which had eyes and a mouth uttering great boasts and which was larger in appearance than its associates. 21“I kept looking, and that horn was waging war with the saints and overpowering them 22until the Ancient of Days came and judgment was passed in favor of the saints of the Highest One, and the time arrived when the saints took possession of the kingdom.
23“Thus he said: ‘The fourth beast will be a fourth kingdom on the earth, which will be different from all the other kingdoms and will devour the whole earth and tread it down and crush it. 24‘As for the ten horns, out of this kingdom ten kings will arise; and another will arise after them, and he will be different from the previous ones and will subdue three kings. 25‘He will speak out against the Most High and wear down the saints of the Highest One, and he will intend to make alterations in times and in law; and they will be given into his hand for a time, times, and half a time. 26‘But the court will sit for judgment, and his dominion will be taken away, annihilated and destroyed forever. 27‘Then the sovereignty, the dominion and the greatness of all the kingdoms under the whole heaven will be given to the people of the saints of the Highest One; His kingdom will be an everlasting kingdom, and all the dominions will serve and obey Him.’
28“At this point the revelation ended. As for me, Daniel, my thoughts were greatly alarming me and my face grew pale, but I kept the matter to myself.”
