Vision: Our Blessed Hope

I received a closed vision on 8/20/2024 @ 8:52am. This vision was of an idyllic, small country church in a meadow wrapped in sunlight. It was a beautiful scene. The church had a steeple with a cross at the top point. Suddenly and without warning, a hand comes down from above with a cleaver and chops off the steeple. It swings down and hits the steeple so hard that the sheer force results in the steeple flying up into the air out of view. The action and sheer force startled me. The vision faded and I received in the spirit, “the church is neutered”. I inquired of the Lord, but received no answer. I decided to wait patiently and earnestly upon the Lord. I sensed there was more to come.

This was the first vision of an amazing series of visions pointing to one thing, “Our Blessed Hope.”

On 8/26/2024 @ 9:15am, I received a closed vision of the word, “FLY”. It was in black capital letters and filled up the entire field of vision that was being shown to me. I instantly thought of the old hymn, “I’ll Fly Away” written in 1929 by Albert E. Brumley. Hope and the promise of eternal life are a central theme in the lyrics that are reflected in the verse:

Some glad morning when this life is o’er, I’ll fly away;
To a home on God’s celestial shore,
I’ll fly away (I’ll fly away).

I was not sure if this vision had any relation to the vision where “the church is neutered”. I inquired of the Lord, but received no answer. Again, I waited patiently and earnestly upon the Lord. And again, I sensed there was more to come.

As I waited, I continued to receive other unrelated visions from the Lord. Some I have posted on this site when He has prompted me to release them. However, I continued to pray and seek Him on these two intriguing visions. As we know, patience is one of the fruits of the spirit. So patient I must be!

Nearly a year later, on 6/7/2025, I was listening to a sermon online. The pastor was preaching about the rapture of the church and explained that the Greek word for “Spirit” is “neuter”. In Greek, the word for “spirit” is pneuma, which is grammatically neuter.

Wow! I immediately connected this to “the church is neutered” vision I received on 8/20/2024 and realized that these two visions were depicting the sudden rapture or gathering up of the Church by Jesus Christ. God was using the word “neuter” to reflect two meanings. One meaning depicts the cutting off of the church steeple, in the literal sense. The other depicts “neuter” as the removal of the Spirit filled church in the spiritual sense. The Holy Spirit filled church is suddenly cut off without warning into the air!

On 6/26/2025 @ 8:52am, I heard in the spirit, “I come soon”. Yes, indeed! This was my confirmation!!

On 6/30/2025 @ 9:07am, I received a vision of the phrase, “Let’s go!” It immediately faded and I heard in the spirit, “Harpazo”. Admittedly, I am not a Bible scholar and did not know what this meant. However, since the Lord showed me the Greek word for “Spirit” is “neuter”, I decided to look into the Greek meaning of “harpazo”, if there was any. This wasn’t the first time the Lord revealed Himself to me using a foreign language.

Here is what I found:

From Strong’s Greek Lexicon, “harpazo” means to seize, carry off by force; to seize on, claim for one’s self eagerly; to snatch away.

God is so amazing!!! This vast series of visions, over nearly a year time span, depicts the amazing destiny of those that have given their lives in obedience to Jesus Christ. Though we know not the day or the hour (Matthew 24:36), this indeed is “Our Blessed Hope”.

May the Body of Christ be encouraged and find comfort in this truth.

Matthew 24:36:

But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angles of heaven, but my Father only.

1 Corinthians 15:52:

In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.

Titus 2:13:

Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ.

1 Thessalonians 4:13-18:

13 But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope.
14 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him.
15 For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep.
16 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:
17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.
18 Wherefore comfort one another with these words.
Matthew 24:31:
And he shall send his angles with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.
1 Thessalonians 5:2:
For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night.
