A long while ago I wrote an essay called “THE WALL WILL FALL”. It was an essay about a dream I had, and I fear I had that the Western Wall in Israel, which so many people put their faith in was going to be torn down. This tragedy as the religious would call it was meant to be a great act of symbolism. For while in the natural world we saw Israel at war and it’s greatest holy idol, the western wall, blown to bits, spiritually we would take from this destruction that the wall of religion was being torn down as well. We would learn that the holy land is not some piece of real estate highly esteemed by some far off angry God, but that humanity itself is that holy land.
Now, back then I believed that this feeling I had would come to pass in the not too distant future, but at the risk of not sounding like all of those that say they hear from God, I wrote the essay in a way to reveal how mankind puts their faith in the temporal and makes eternal things that just are not. I saw this “vision\idea\dream” of the Western Wall being destroyed as a sign, that the idols of religion are to be destroyed within, as they most certainly would one day be destroyed without.
So today, I revisit this horrible thought and take a look back at an essay that I wrote, that still remains an uncomfortable one for me.
Of course, I do not believe that I can predict the future, but I do believe there is nothing new under the sun and we create what we believe. I will not say, as many say, that the ‘Lord’ is speaking to me, for the only thoughts I know of are the thoughts within me… and since I am willing to put these thoughts out there, I know there must be a good reason. I sure hope that somehow, whatever I share will bring and end to a time when any dream of war, is nightmare nothing more.
So let me begin…
The Western Wall in Israel that so many people put their faith in, and the literal land of Israel, which people still today believe is the Holy Land of God is as holy as New Jersey. In fact, the slums of jersey are more holy than this place. Israel is NOT a literal land, which is why I believed I felt this Western Wall would fall.
Hosea 11
1When Israel was a child, then I loved him, and called my son out of Egypt.
Israel, is the name God gives us. Israel in Hebrew means “God Prevails” — And this essay is a new reminder that regardless of how things seem in the middle east, God’s will WILL be done. God PREVAILS. The one spirit of love and truth within us all will prevail. One way or another.
Sometimes the nightmare has to get real bad before those asleep wake up.
The literal land of Israel has become one of the biggest idols in our world today for Christian and Jew. So about a year ago I started having this feeling that something big was going to happen.
However, very recently, I had a dream, a very strange dream. I was in Palestine and Israel launched an attack. I remember being scared as I ran from their rocket fire. In the dream I found myself smack dab in the middle of it all. Ironically, I shared this dream with a man who calls himself a prophet, big tv guy named John Paul Jackson. A nice enough man who I had the pleasure of sharing many of my insights with years ago. He did not know what to make of the dream, but I did. Pure symbolism manifested in a literal war between Palestine and Israel.
In the dream, Israel launched a devastating attack against Palestine, but as I turned to my right in my dream, I saw such a relatliation on Israel that (in the dream) I said to myself, “They had no idea what they started.” It was a really awful dream, as everyone hopes to see peace one day, but it seems in this region, there has never been peace. The reason? RELIGION!
Religion is the culpit, it almost always is, a false sense of entitlement, and the belief that the land of israel is God’s land is the problem indeed.
So yesterday I begin having this strong feeling again, that perhaps we are to see something big happen in this area. Now, I am no prophet, and I am not making a prediction, but I will say the timing of such an event, (whether war or earthquake) around one of Israel’s high holy days, or new moons, or BLOOD moons would be strangely coincidental.
I learned awhile ago not to have fear sharing thoughts like this. This could mean nothing at all. It could be simple worry, because of the state of Palestine and Israel relations. It could be my heartache for the families in Palestine that are caught in the middle, and have suffered such loss. People have been imprisoned, shot, and lost everything for peaceful protest against the Israeli occupation and total disregard for Human rights or life.
Yet, there is blood on the hands of all nations, and all groups, because it is not about what is right in Gods eyes or not, for they don’t know who or what God is, no one does as the scriptures state, it is about money, power, greed, and domination.
And for this, the Wall they put their faith in will fall.
Anyone who would consider themselves chosen by God, instead of seeing we are all God’s child, image, and manifestation in the earth, is a dangerous person indeed.
Whether allegorical or no, something has to happen to wake up the world.
The question will then become, will this begin WW3? I am sure the fear mongers out there would like to say so…
I will say… wait, and watch… for soon is the coming of paradise once again.
You see, this all must take place first… or so the scriptures state… And for the gnostic in me, I see the wisdom in having every empire and stronghold at war without, when it is time for their influence to fall away within.
Once Israel is no longer seen as the only chosen people, so too will we see that all are chosen, as the judgment against such a literal nation is carried out, whether in my dreams or in reality.
So we will see so unrest in the world. How could we not? We are at war with ourselves, and as long as we are there will be war. For this creation (humanity) to be finished in victory we must see the evil of idolatry (money, religion, power, etc) replaced by the goodness of hope, charity and good will toward all men.
LOVE GOD, LOVE OTHERS. PERIOD! In doing this, the law is fulfilled, meaning you are no longer a slave to it, meaning you are free to be who you are, who you really are.
If the Wall does fall in the physical, than that means the idolatry of the world will fall as well. If Israel goes to war, then that would be a physical allegory of what is happening spiritually to everyone of us. If the physical state of israel, the WALL in particular is torn apart, that means the CARNAL BELIEFS in all of us are torn apart.
Matthew 23:36-38
36Verily I say unto you, All these things shall come upon this generation.
37O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou that killest the prophets, and stonest them which are sent unto thee, how often would I have gathered thy children together, even as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, and ye would not!
38Behold, your house is left unto you desolate.
As you know by now, I see almost everything in scripture and in our conscious life as allegory. Everything that is happening in the world, and in our personal lives, I see as an allegory of what is going on spiritually.
Right now, “ISRAEL” A literal people who believe they are chosen by God, are rumored to be committing unspeakable crimes against those they deem are not children of God. — Spiritually the very same thing is happening.
The Religions of the world, will condemn and cast out anyone and everyone who believes differently. People today would rather take up arms and fight and kill then love and forgive.
Hosea 7
13Woe unto Israel! for they have fled from me: destruction unto them! because they have transgressed against me: though I have redeemed them, yet they have spoken lies against me.
14And they have not cried unto me with their heart, when they howled upon their beds: they assemble themselves for corn and wine, and they rebel against me.
15Though I have bound and strengthened their arms, yet do they imagine mischief against me.
The literal Land of Israel, their government, is a symbol of the religious minded today. They all believe they are God’s chosen, they believe that they are entitled to whatever they want, and they will take whatever they want, and destroy anyone that stands in their way. This way of thinking, in Israel, and in each and everyone of us, WILL COME TO AN END! I simply pray that the hearts of the world are changed without having to first see the complete devastation that will most surely come IF WE DO NOT LOVE GOD AND OTHERS, if we do not RETURN TO THE LORD.
Luke 21:20-22
20And when ye shall see Jerusalem compassed with armies, then know that the desolation thereof is nigh.
21Then let them which are in Judaea flee to the mountains; and let them which are in the midst of it depart out; and let not them that are in the countries enter thereinto.
22For these be the days of vengeance, that all things which are written may be fulfilled.
So, I pray instead of war, we see peace talks, borders erased, temples and churches and mosques left vacant and a people coming together in loving unity, making this world a better place… But sadly in this I do not yet have faith. So instead I pray, we see each other as sister and brother, we forgive and forget, and remember who we truly are.
Keep your eyes on the world, and your lives, because I do believe everything is about to change!
Jacob
Enjoy and shared on Facebook, as well as adding part of it too my blog. Only part of it due to length of your post and also so people can read the rest of it from your blog here… and hopefully read some of your other insightful posts as well.
Be well bro 🙂

Hi Jacob,
I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the videos you’ve posted! Deep things regarding the reality of Christ IN US! Absolutely inspired. But I have to respectfully disagree with you on this. You are correct that Christians, especially in America, give total and thoughtless support to Israel. But, IMHO, you are wrong to impute the suffering of the so called “Palestinians” onto Israel or the Jewish people. The “Palestinians” have been used as pawns in a wicked game being played by the Islamists. By and large, in the arena of causing suffering in this world, the Israeli people cannot hold a candle to the Islamists. For the most, Jews are amongst the kindest, most gentle, compassionate, intelligent, family oriented, funny and talented people on earth. Their contributions to science, industry, medicine, entertainment, culture, etc. are unequaled in this world. I can’t think of a more decent group of people on earth. If you believe they are the cause of the problems in the middle east, I believe you’ve been a victim of propaganda and lies.
Perhaps you believe I’m the one deceived in this regard and perhaps you’re right. I’ve been known to make a mistake or two..
Still love you and all (well, mostly all) that you do.

Dale,
Who really knows what goes on? The wiki leaks have showed the the israeli government has done some pretty horrible things, carrying or mass assasinations, questioned in 9/11 bombings where Mossad demolition experts just happened to be camped out in a hotel near by, and had clearance as painters… Hhhmmm? They also attacked one of our naval vessels, not to mentioned breaking international law daily with their illegal blockade of international waters… Dale don’t forget they murdered peaceful activists not too long ago after illegally boarding their vessel, they continue to build on land that is not theirs, they are ethnically cleansing their streets, and this is all fact. Now if their actions are righteous than God will keep them, if not, he won’t… Either way God is in control, and I really have a heart for the Palestinians who are not terrorists, just farmers who are killed, children who are accidently murdered, teens who are being gased to death or shot because they are protesting this very treatment. I am not against Jew, Muslim, Christian, Hindu, we are all God’s children, I am against all governments that kill, murder, steal, enslave, and worse its people, and that goes unfortunately for many countries in the world. But once again, God is in control of it all, and will bring everything to light. Which is why, Assange released those documents, which doesn’t paint a lot of nations in the best light, Israel, and the US, the only way for a country to prosper is for it to be about the people, for the people, shoot man, I don’t know why I wrote this paper and the other, I don’t know why I do half the stuff I do. Like you said, I could be wrong. Let God be true and every man a liar. I want to thank you, for at least being able to share your comment in love and disagreement peacefully, without calling me the son of satan, LOL… Much love man, I hope God bring to light the truth soon, Jacob
You have no clue what you are writing about.
I suggest going to a country where tehre are a lot of Muslims and seeing if you enjoy the way the men stare at your wife.
I am sooooo tired of you thinking you have the right to write things that will get your “compassionate ego” support. You have little to NO wisdom, and all I see is emotionally manipulative messages that have no reverence for Christ.
Wisdom is a Tree of Life and that is only found in Christ —– and I am so grateful that I live in a country where people at least acknowledge that Jesus CHrist is Lord. I am so SICK and TIRED of the *EXTREMELY* deceptive media reporting crap like this. You can be SURE that suicide bombers, etc of the Muslim people —— in Israel is 100X worse than whatever the Israelis do.
Let me tell you abotu RELIGION. You think Christians are ‘bad’? Imagine that X 1,000,000,000. That is Islam, Liberal thinking etc……… talk about Moral discussions where you are made to feel SHAMEFUL and like an IDIOT for disagreeing or speaking a second of commmon sense or basic wisdom? That’s what it’s like to be in that environment………… do you want that for ALL the people that you ‘love’ in the world???? HE USES THE BASE THINGS, THE WEAK THINGS TO ‘shame the wise’ ——– Islam is the height of the knowledge of good and evil….. so far from the tree of life and wisdom………… (TRUST ME, I”VE LIVED IN A QUICKENED STATE BY THE HOLY SPIRIT IN A PLACE WHERE THERE ARE MANY ‘ISLAMIC PEOPLE’)
I HIGHLY suggest that you join the military tomorrow and start your journey into becoming a man —- who is LITERALLY willing to lay down your life and be a CHrist-like example. Until you are willing to do that, I don’t want to EVER see you writing crap like this EVER again.
Yes, I am LIVID about this ridiculous message and that is LOVE —— I am not indifferent, I am not going to lay down and let you or anyone walk all over me or manipulate anyone.
And don’t you dare writing a response which defends your SELF and makes you seem like such a ‘good person’ ——– just admit it, you don’t know anything, and must rely *COMPLETELY* on Jesus CHrist every second of every day for ANY WISDOM at ALL! That’s where we ALL are —— in this boat.
You know, I believe the ‘same’ thing: that everyone is saved and that God is MUCH more loving than any of us imagine, but this is just plain stupid, and I am going to be REAL with you and not caught up in some illusion that Islam & Christianity is the same religion-wise because it’s not. At least ‘we CHristians’ have a smidgen of an idea of GRACE. ISLAM is a ‘frightening’ example of a ‘religion’ where Grace is not truly ever even imagined or realized. Yes, there’s a “thread of truth” in everything, but that is CHRIST……….. It is in Our God…… and He is a Consuming Fire, and I want to see you stay in that fire for at least a few moments to see just a smidgen of GOLD come forth ——- WISDOM ————- not these crazy self-gratifying opinions.
I HOPE YOU’LL WAKE UP AND START GETTING A CLUE THIS NEW YEAR. As much as we agree about our Father on a couple ‘important points’ you are SO FAR OFF on SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO MUCH …….. and I am tired of your emotional messages and want to start seeing the HOLY SPIRIT!~!!!!!!!!!!! NOT YOU! I WANT JESUS CHRIST!!!!!!! DID YOU HEAR/READ ME?????????? I WANT WISDOM AND JESUS, NOT YOU.

Has anyone ever told you to “get over yourself”? This would be a great moment for that. I cannot and will not ever stroke your ego, I will only tell you what God has shown me and be vulnerable & real abotu what and whwere I am…………. and this is the dumbest crap I have ever read.
Also, don’t you dare erasing my message to protect yourself. Count this as your first messsage to bring up the sword and start your salvation from yourself so that you can in turn help others one day.
Yes, everyone is saved!!!!!!, but He is full of Wisdom, Grace & Reality, not illusions and bull-crap.
Anon,
Let me address a couple of the things you say. You said that I think all Christians are so bad, I don’t. RELIGION is bad, and that has pretty much always been the way it was. Also, I write what I believe and know to be true, I’m pretty sure I quite frequently tell people to NOT TRUST ME OR ANYONE but to go to God for the answers. You can say I’m dumb, and write crap, you can say I have no idea what I’m talking about, that is your right, as it is my right to write my essays. Which I simply do, just to share, and believe me I love sharing. Whatever anyone takes away from what I write and say is a blessing. I believe God is in control of it all, what I write, what you write, until we all come into the unity of the spirit. It’s really important to not forget to LOVE EACH OTHER, and by attacking someone can stroke a person’s ego as much as praising them, and without the ego, you wouldn’t feel the need to send me this very angry message. But I thank God for it, believe me, I have been through enough in my life, that a few people attacking what I write or say (out of my love for God and others), does not bother me in the least. I know we all still have so much to learn, I sure know I do… I don’t understand how anyone can be livid about a message of love, but that only makes sense if we have been taught to hate. And I can see you hate the Muslim, I don’t. I don’t hate the Jew, the Hindu, the Christian, I don’t hate anyone, you know who I REALLY HATE, is MYSELF at times. I let many things in this life bother me, worry, fear, insecurity, alienation, etc… and at times when I am looking for approval in the wrong place I HATE MYSELF. But this is good, because those that HATE THEIR LIFE SHALL SAVE IT! — No as far as joining the service and fighting, possibly killing another to defend our country… I thank God this is not my calling. I thank God I don’t have to ever raise a gun toward another. But I will say, you are ABSOLUTELY wrong to think, this is what JESUS MEANT ABOUT LAYING DOWN YOUR LIFE FOR ANOTHER… Jesus said, if your enemy hits you, let him do it again, Jesus said NEVER to take up a defense for yourself, but to let God avenge you, because only God is just. So I have to disagree with you on that. I long for the day when we won’t need a military, when we see we are all ONE, and this “ridiculous” message of Love that you’re so Livid about is embraced by all. And last but not least, I will say, when you find out who YOU ARE then you will HAVE what you WANT! Until then you’ll still be angry. Have the best day ever Anon, thanks for the message and for visiting the site. There are other essays on here you may enjoy, remember not everyone is in the same place. So if I be wrong, than God willing I will be corrected, and if you be wrong, than God willing you will be corrected… YOU SEE REGARDLESS OF WHO IS WRONG OR RIGHT, GOD IS IN CONTROL! And I will say, I WILL ALWAYS WRITE ABOUT LOVE! Because if my God is not LOVE than that is not my God. Peace

Anon, Wow you are fired up my friend. Remember no one forced you to come to this blog, also everyone has an opinion. Yours is a bit more “in your face” than mine is, but that’s cool man. I hope whatever has gotten you so irritated, is taken away. I know how hard this world can be, and I understand how people think that projecting that anger towards others may make them feel better. But I promise you, from experience, as I have done what you have done to me as well when I was much younger. So I take your words thankfully, they, believe it or not, will do great good for me, you, and anyone else reading. much love to you my man… and never worry about me erasing posts, that would be pointless, what lessons can be learned if the days lesson is one sided. Much love Jacob
Beautiful Truth!
