Prophetic vision about a rainbow
One Evangelist from US saw the following vision on Sunday, April 14,2002 in the First Assembly of God Pocahontas, AR, USA.
“Seen a Bright light, my hands were burning with the fire of God. I have seen an ocean or a sea. Over this body of water was a rainbow. The colors in this rainbow were red, blue, green, and gold (not yellow). The bright light is situated under the rainbow.The light moves over the land, which appears to be desert. Darkness is over the land; the darkness is coming from the billowing smoke, which emanates from burning buildings. A giant sword appears in the sky. Then I see a chestnut colored horse running but could not see if anyone was on this horse. It is very quick, and very strong horse”. By His grace and by His wisdom, the Lord led me to interpret the above vision as follows:
The ocean or the sea means the nations. The rainbow is the revived church, which has washed itself in the Blood of the Lamb (Red); clothed with the righteousness of Christ (Blue); having the abundant grace of God (green); with its faith tested by fire (Job 23:10, I Pet.1: 7). Yellow means mammon or material prosperity/money. This revived church is dependent on the power of God and not merely on the worldly finances. This shows that the servants of God should not plan and execute their ministries after making budgets or with sufficient bank balances. They should completely depend upon God for their ministries. God would meet their financial needs in a wonderful manner. These servants of God need not make any appeal for funds. Money would come their way as they engage themselves in doing the perfect will of God.
The Bright Light is figurative of the Holy Ghost. The rainbow and the Bright light are inseparable. The Holy Spirit moves over the desert as and when the rainbow sheds its four colors. The Church, the rainbow, acts as the “token of the covenant which God has made through the Blood of the Lamb” (Gen.9: 16). No government or any ruler can eclipse the rays and the colors emanating from this rainbow. People of this world can look at this rainbow for escaping the ensuing judgment of God.
The smoke emanates from the burning of the buildings. The man-made buildings mean the self-appointed ministries in the House of God. The judgment of God would devour all such ministries, which are self-centered because the judgment begins at the House of God.
The darkness is caused because the light of the gospel has not reached these places, which are still deserts Now the Holy Spirit moves on these deserts. This shows that God would pour out His Spirit on these deserts so that these deserts would become pools of water or rivers.
The giant sword is the two edged sword of the Spirit i.e. the Word of God. The servants of God fight the false prophets and teachers and anti-christs with the two-edged Word of God. While tempting Jesus, the Devil quoted the Word only. But, Jesus defeated the Devil in the wilderness by quoting the Word from its other side.
The chestnut colored horse is figurative of the five-fold ministry of New Testament. Nobody is riding this horse. This shows that this horse does not represent an individual servant of God’s ministry. It is a body ministry of His servants with oneness of mind. The reddish brown color means that this five-fold ministry is the same type of the New Testament ministry, which turned the world upside down. It is the old wine in a new bottle. It does not have any new color but has the natural color of wooden furniture. The natural color of wooden furniture does not fade away with the passage of time, whereas the artificial color of paint fades away. The five-fold ministry of these servants of God will be very active and strong as a horse. The gates of hell will never prevail against the Church, which is ministered by the five-fold ministry of His servants.
The hands of the evangelist are burning with the fire of God. The evangelists of the five-fold ministry ought to be filled with the fire or the power of God. They need not be eloquent orators endowed with the wisdom of this world. God is looking for simple and humble people, filled with His power, to serve Him as His evangelists.
