   2020/05/26 Tuesday:  Matthew 24:15-25 (The Abomination of Desolation)   
      
   Seriously.  However, I need to open up with what may be the most insignificant   
   little dream before I get into it.  This morning sometime before waking around   
   5:30 AM to let the dog out, I had this very brief dream having something to do   
   with Jennifer    
   Garner in her role of "Alias", that TV spy series, only it was of a more   
   nondescript nature: just a female who strongly resembled her, with a secret   
   life as a spy, but the dream had a kind of perspective envelope: that of the   
   business:  the show was    
   receiving some kind of "B.A.S." award, which described the kind of show it   
   actually was:  "Basic Ad Supported" broadcasting (for it's time-slot.)   
      
   After this, I let the dog out briefly, then tried to get back to sleep, but   
   could only meditate a bit on how one's greatest weakness is actually one's   
   greatest strength:  For example, *knowing* one's biggest weakness allows all   
   of one's better strengths    
   to be arrayed on *top* of that knowledge.  For example (and this is purely off   
   the top of my head) if I know that I'm historically lousy at playing   
   basketball (as an example of my greatest weakness) then I'm certainly going to   
   make a living doing    
   something OTHER than playing basketball, so all my *other* "strengths" must   
   surely be of more value to me than my ability to play basketball.   
      
   As I was contemplating that, my mind began to contemplate the upcoming   
   Presidential election, namely, that of "Sleepy Joe" (Biden) vs. Donald Trump,   
   and how "Sleepy Joe" is Trump's greatest strength.  In other words, Joe is   
   *such a bad choice* that the    
   value and strength of Trump is like a beacon of light by comparison, and this   
   coming election is going to be an *absolute* landslide!   
      
   Well, that thought instantly triggered a scene that began running in pure   
   vision-mode.  It's kinda like a cartoon but rather than played out in color,   
   it's very tiny (as if seen from 50 to 100 feet in the air, perhaps) and in a   
   kind of black & white,    
   only more of peach-illuminated images contrasted with darker edges (I use the   
   contraction "it's" because this kind of "vision" *is* seen in fully conscious   
   mode yet with eyes shut and body *very* relaxed, before getting up for the   
   day, and also it *was*    
   something that was observed with the conscious mind, trying to make sense of   
   it.)  What was "seen" started with a kind of brightness, like a moving energy   
   of light, that passed through a landscape (above ground level) *AS IF* one   
   were to see the flight    
   path of an exceptionally low-flying jet as a swoosh of light, through the   
   streets of a rural, middle-eastern town.  However, this light swoosh clearly   
   had the thought of "Trump" (President of the United States of America)   
   associated with it, along with    
   another thought of how this is just how the Lord plays out His scenes, using   
   people and nations of the World as His stage / backdrop.  There were figures   
   of many people hopping around like crazy, "fleeing" something that was   
   coming.  There were figures    
   on top of buildings jumping downward, people on the ground running leftward,   
   trying to clear the landscape as quickly as possible.  There was this *one*   
   building's tower that held a tiny bit of focus more than the rest, but only   
   because it had on its    
   side a very dark opening.  When using the word "window," people tend to think   
   of a modern, glass-paned, square-ish or rectangular window, however this was   
   more of the type of "opening" that's basically a doorway from the inside of   
   the tower to the    
   outside, much as a minaret forms a "call to prayer" tower, and there was a   
   ring of light *around* the darkness, which gave me the impression of Islam.    
   Islam is the ideology / religion of dualism, so rather than the light of Truth   
   (such as Christianity)    
   it is the "appearance" of truth (the ring of light) but surrounding a core of   
   darkness (death.)  At any rate, this aberration held the focus for only a tiny   
   fraction of a moment longer than the rest of the scene, then the view /   
   perspective / camera    
   continued its downward / leftward sweep (in fact, I felt like my eyes were   
   focused downward to the left, following the action!) when a kind of darkness   
   simply began to wash away the image from the upper right, as if the sun in the   
   east were emitting    
   darkness rather than daylight.  I figure whatever this "darkness" must   
   represent, it's gonna darken that landscape considerably in preparation for   
   the coming Day of the Lord!  (Clarity: "V")   
      
   At any rate, I came here directly to begin typing all this up, but first left   
   Gina a little note on her Classmates.com profile :-)  I figure if she is *my*   
   greatest weakness, that makes me her greatest strength.  At any rate, I hope   
   to someday soon be in    
   a position to financially support her, as a husband supports a wife and   
   family.  We shall see.
