Reaping the Whirlwind

In a dream vision, the Holy Spirit placed me in front of what looked like a screen. A video was playing on this screen, and the camera that was transmitting the images was positioned high in a corner of an interior wall of a large living room of a house. The exterior wall had several windows. Suddenly, the furniture and objects in the room lifted in the air and were sucked out the windows, as if a giant vacuum cleaner had gone by. Then the video on the screen changed to another room in a different place. The same strange thing occurred—the furniture and objects moved as if pulled, lifting up and out the windows.
The English language idiom to “go out the window” means to not exist anymore, to be gone, to be wasted, to disappear. In scripture, the whirlwind is a sign of God’s anger, judgment, and testing. In the vision, people’s possessions were pulled in seconds by a vacuum’s suction force right out of their homes. God gives, and God takes away. And in the case of the faithful Job, God not only restores what in testing He takes away, but gives back twice as much and bestows even more blessings.
Scripture:
Job 1:19-21 (AMPC)
19 And behold, there came a great [whirlwind] from the desert, and smote the four corners of the house, and it fell upon the young people and they are dead, and I alone have escaped to tell you.
20 Then Job arose and rent his robe and shaved his head and fell down upon the ground and worshiped
21 And said, Naked (without possessions) came I [into this world] from my mother’s womb, and naked (without possessions) shall I depart. The Lord gave and the Lord has taken away; blessed (praised and magnified in worship) be the name of the Lord!
Job 42:10 (AMPC)
10 And the Lord turned the captivity of Job and restored his fortunes, when he prayed for his friends; also the Lord gave Job twice as much as he had before.
Jeremiah 23:19 (AMPC)
19 Behold, the tempest of the Lord has gone forth in wrath, a whirling tempest; it shall whirl and burst upon the heads of the wicked.
Hosea 8:7 (AMPC)
7 For they sow the wind and they shall reap the whirlwind.
