Had a dream this morning – June 27/2021 @ 8am. We had made it safely to harbor before the storm had hit but were notified that a ship didn’t make it back. “We’re going back into the storm!” to rescue those who were capsized and thrown overboard. The storm radar looked like the curved wind bands of a hurricane, bigger than anything I had ever seen before. We were soberly aware we would be going after the lost men at the peril of our own lives but still resolved to do whatever it took to RESCUE THE PERISHING (look up the lyrics), even though it was their own stubbornness to not heed the warnings to get to their safe anchor point before the storm arrived that led to them being capsized.
I’m new to the team. In the officer’s mess hall at the captain’s table, I’m being introduced to the leader who was eating a stack of pancakes and syrup. He said, “No talking when we eat! We talk every other time so eating time is silent!”
We are in violent waves and darkness of night but still succeed in find the floating men. Several individual rescues attempted w limited success. Last ditch effort, at risk of our own lives, the captain of the ship hollered, “CAST THE NETS!” We threw the huge fishing nets, which pulled them all together, even if it felt like they were drowning, but we got them! They and we made it out alive.
Then as I was waking i saw the letter number sequence flash before my eyes: CO2O3NV. Thought it might be a chemical structure but not 100% sure. Although I barely passed biochemistry in university, it looks like carbon dioxide, trioxide, nitrogen, vanadium. I have no clue what this means and haven’t gotten any interpretation, simply to post it online.
RESCUE THE PERISHING lyrics by Frances J. Crosby
1) Rescue the perishing, care for the dying,
Snatch them in pity from sin and the grave;
Weep o’er the erring one, lift up the fallen,
Tell them of Jesus, the mighty to save.
Refrain:
Rescue the perishing, care for the dying,
Jesus is merciful, Jesus will save.
2) Though they are slighting Him, still He is waiting,
Waiting the penitent child to receive;
Plead with them earnestly, plead with them gently;
He will forgive if they only believe.
3) Down in the human heart, crushed by the tempter,
Feelings lie buried that grace can restore;
Touched by a loving heart, wakened by kindness,
Chords that were broken will vibrate once more.
4) Rescue the perishing, duty demands it;
Strength for thy labor the Lord will provide;
Back to the narrow way patiently win them;
Tell the poor wand’rer a Savior has died.
Scripture re: CAST THE NETS!
Luke 5:4-11 – 4 Now when he had left speaking, he said unto Simon, launch out into the deep, and let down your nets for a draught. 5 And Simon answering said unto him, Master, we have toiled all the night, and have taken nothing: nevertheless, at thy word I will let down the net. 6 And when they had this done, they enclosed a great multitude of fishes: and THEIR NET BRAKE. 7 And they beckoned unto their partners, which were in the other ship, that they should come and help them. And they came, and filled both the ships, so that they began to sink. 8 When Simon Peter saw it, he fell down at Jesus’ knees, saying, depart from me; for I am a sinful man, O Lord. 9 For he was astonished, and all that were with him, at the draught of the fishes which they had taken: 10 And so was also James, and John, the sons of Zebedee, which were partners with Simon. And Jesus said unto Simon, Fear not; from henceforth thou shalt catch men. 11 And when they had brought their ships to land, they forsook all and followed him.
John 21:11 – Simon Peter went up and drew the net to land full of great fishes, a hundred and fifty and three: and for all there were so many, YET WAS NOT THE NET BROKEN. (**Shows there were TWO times – one that broke and some fish were lost. Second time, after Peter denied Jesus and had returned to his “secular” fishing career, there was NO fish lost.)
Job 19:6 – 6 Know now that God hath overthrown me, and hath compassed me with his net. (**Read entire chapter for context of WHY God allowed the boat to be capsized in the first place)
Ezekiel 32:3 – Thus saith the Lord God; I will therefore spread out my net over thee with a company of many people; and they shall bring thee up in my net.
Ezekiel 47:10 – And it shall come to pass, that the fishers shall stand upon it from Engedi even unto Eneglaim; they shall be a place to spread forth nets; their fish shall be according to their kinds, as the fish of the great sea, exceeding many.
Habakkuk 1:15 – They take up all of them with the angle, they catch them in their net, and gather them in their drag: therefore, they rejoice and are glad.
Matthew 13:47-50 – 47 Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a net, that was cast into the sea, and gathered of every kind: 48 Which, when it was full, they drew to shore, and sat down, and gathered the good into vessels, but cast the bad away. 49 So shall it be at the end of the world: the angels shall come forth, and sever the wicked from among the just, 50 And shall cast them into the furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.
