Vision 6: An East Wind.

April 29, 2005 - Friday.

"Vengeance is Mine! *I* will repay!"(Deut. 32:35)


Today it is wet, wet, wet. It has been raining all day and the size of
some of the pieces of ice coming down this morning were really
quite surprising.
It's too wet to go out or do anything really, the dogs took one sniff
outside and looked at me as if I was stupid. So I made a coffee and
sat and watched a subject on the History channel that I normally
avoid - the Holocaust.

I know some who are like "Yeah, 6 million Jews..we know!", but
watching personal accounts of what took place in Poland and
surrounding countries, footage that I'd never seen before, very
personal footage .. what happened was so much more than just ..
"a number".
I cried & prayed "Oh God! Where is the justice for these people?
Where is the justice for what was done to them?" and I was in
tears, and a thought shot right across my mind immediately -

"My anger is coming very soon!"

This actually made me cry more, and all I could do was pray,
"Dear God, let your Kingdom come and shatter all the nations
into pieces! In Jesus' Name, Amen!"
[By the way, the programme is still on, on the History Channel; it
is on until 8pm tonight, Central Time]

You were talking about the Holocaust. When I was in High School,
we had to watch a film on it. I was sobbing in my seat. The guy
behind me was rubbing my back trying to calm me down. I
couldn't believe another human being could be so evil. It was
beyond my comprehension. I was brought up to have respect for
everyone! No matter the color of their skin, their heritage or their
age.

I work at a bingo hall and we use to have a patron, whom has since
expired from this earth, and she was in one of those concentration
camps when she was a young girl. One story she told me horrified
me to no end. She said that she and others had to make lamps out
of feet and hands from victims. She said that sometimes she might
recognize a marking on one of the amputated parts as being a friend
or family member. I could not imagine anyone, much less a child,
having to endure that.

Lamps?!!! What type of evil heinous person makes a lamp out of a
severed human part? She had other stories too, but that one story
has been emblazoned in my mind forever.


8:10 pm - An East Wind is coming.

Cathy, you would think with the announcement of the end of the war,
that the persecution would stop, but for the Jews it actually increased!

The killing of the Jews was ultimately carried on to such extremes
that the chambers designed for the purpose, couldn't handle the
load and bodies were then being burned out in the open! Of course,
people in the neighboring towns complained about the smell interferring
with their peaceful nights' sleep!
What to do with all those bodies? Someone, somewhere, decided that
nothing should be wasted. Besides the lamps you mention, being made
from hands and feet, the German SS army made leather belts from the
skin of the people!

Bones were ground for glue to be made and used in German offices.
And soap was made from the persons of these individuals - SOAP!!!
Who would wash with this?!! .. But who questions what their soap is
made from?
As if to add final insult to injury, you'll find every German soldier had
stamped on his belt-buckle words that call for God's blessing on his
purpose in the German army. I forget the exact wording but it was a
standard part of their uniform.

These things we learned as we grew up, along also with very educational
visits to museums we have here in London, where you can walk into
rooms with parts sectioned off by glass partitions to the left and to the
right; these are filled (from the floor up!) with: one section here - only
eyeglasses, that section over there - shoes, hats .. like that.
But don't misunderstand me - the size of these sections with the sheer
representative number of objects that each one contained: all those
people would not have had room to stand in that building alone! ..
These were such enormous piles of individual objects that after a while
it became difficult - to see the *tens of thousands* of Jewish indivduals
they represented!

May God Bless Israel with freedom from Her enemies once more, and
sweep those enemies away from before Him like chaff in an east wind.

Like the east wind that blew across the Red sea, drying it up, while the
Lord Himself stood as a wall between Israel and Her enemies that night,
so that She could pass through to safety on dry land!


In Jesus,

Ray.
