In June 2010 my friend and I were on the phone to one another and the Lord opened something up to us through a picture.

It was of a tarnished tray, seemingly a gold one.

I say it was gold, but as it became clearer as it was cleaned it appeared silver. This had a hallmark on the underneath, though it was barely discernible because of the tarnish It was mainly the underneath that He had us look at in the first place.

A Hallmark signifies a number of things. Its proves something is genuine and not a copy. It shows who the maker is. It shows where it was made and it shows the quality of the material used. Satan and man would have us believe we are so tarnished, so dull, so unclean and so unwanted that we ourselves would fail to believe our true condition in Him.

This Hallmark will also personify, bear the distinguishing features that are contained both within the created thing and its Creator.

This coming move of God would bear and carry His Hallmark alone.

The Lord then began to show me two human hands. He intimated that one hand would represent what the tray was made of and the other hand would represent what was put on the tray and carried by it.

Both together represented the thing that he was preparing for the close to come times and the quality, the characteristics of the vessel, the tray, that would hold what he was soon to present to man, the manifestation of Himself.

Each part, like each hand, was represented by one of 4 fingers or the thumb. So the composition of the tray, in total, would need have these 5 characteristics. Just as there also were 5 characteristics of the manifestation, the other hand, that He would present which were to be carried by the tray. One may say, all though this may be open to further interpretation that the tray, the carrier, represented the character, that was worked into the tray. The Inner Characteristics being Gods inward HALMARK of the coming thing and the things upon the tray the outer HALLMARK, the things that represented what he was to do, to present, to manifest of himself in the things close at hand.

So one has a right hand and a left, a top and a bottom. A composition and content and an inward and an outer manifestation.

So, thus we see the character of the tray, those that are the tray bear these hallmarks, the distinguishing marks of God.

But concerning the items that the tray carried - and there were 5 - I am led to say that two of them are signs and wonders and miracles, and also I feel healing, though I am not certain even these 19 months on.

The other 2 also are yet to be revealed - but for the now - it is important as has been mentioned elsewhere - to realise - the tray, the character is the focus at present and the willingness, the submitedness of the tray to be a vessel that carries other items, upholding them.

I’m very much reminded of a servant carrying a tea service into a parlour, and there are items such as a teapot, a sugar bowl, a milk jug, a cup and saucer.

Or again a tray that carries to the table, items FOR a dining table - a sauce boat, a cruet set (salt and pepper) a ladle and an invitation card holder - all silver and shining new and clean - pristine

The servant carrying the items in on the tray - is off course, none other than Jesus himself.

But it is a COMBINATION of the tray and the items upon it and the one serving bringing these things into the place, the room, the hour, the time of his setting.
