I had the vision while praying during worship at a recent conference.

The sky began to darken as if it were going to rain. I heard what at first seemed to be the sound of a light rain. It grew in intensity. It went from a heavier rain to like the sound that hail makes as it hits the soggy ground. As I looked about to see the rain, I saw acorns. They were being hurled from the sky. They covered the ground. As I looked t them I saw a couple of oak trees. In a matter minutes there stood hundreds of oak trees where before had been an open land.

I am the creator-God. I am raising up a new people for my army. New leaders will rain down from places unexpected. They will arise quickly from small beginnings to become mighty ones. They will be sturdy and give protection to those who draw near to me.

This is interesting -- it seems to go with what I posted in dreams this morning...

Then I said, "My lord, what are these?" And the angel who was speaking with me said to me, "I will show you what these are." And the man who was standing among the myrtle trees answered and said, "These are those whom the LORD has sent to patrol the earth."   As I read this passage, the image of a red horse standing among trees was impressed on my mind. There were white blossoms and they were very fragrant -- sweet ...   I've been pondering this vision for a few weeks -- I don't know what it means   One reason it intrigues me is that the colors are reversed from the fragrant heart pic --     Some interesting things I stumbled on: ... February 2nd this year is Tu B'Shevat, also known as Rosh Hashana for trees. ... It is interesting that this falls in the “Season of Esther” – the month of Tebeth until Purim.  Hadassa means “Flowering Myrtle Tree”.  Maybe there is something to learn here. ... Myrtle Tree: ... It has yellowish-white blossoms, and blooms in February or early March. I had no idea what color myrtle blossoms were .... ... Hadassah is Esther’s Jewish name.   ... The “fruit” of this tree, which are nuts mature about October.  The branches of this tree are used in Sukkoth.  Also, they are used as wedding decorations.   The horses and riders seem to be angelic riders, one of them probably Jesus.  Since they are positioned among the Myrtle trees they seem to be there for defense and protection.  You’ve heard the saying the “fruit grows in the valley”.  The Myrtle trees grow and grow their fruit in the valley.  Their fruit comes full in the fall, with their blossoms corresponding to Purim or a time of war and defense.  Through stress (refinement by YHWH) each develops a unique pattern (Spiritual gifting/character). This impresses on me that we are in a time of war and defense -- this 'army' of the Lord has been prepared and is blossoming -- with fruit to come in full in the fall??? This is especially interesting to me -- this is so much like my white horse with red flowers -- I also looked up what myrtle flowers look like -- they look like what I saw -- the trees looked different though -- I think I saw trunks that looked more like oaks. The below scripture also references oaks -- the planting of the LORD & praise : ) Isaiah 61:3 To grant those who mourn in Zion, Giving them a garland instead of ashes, The oil of gladness instead of mourning, the mantle of praise instead of a spirit of fainting, so they will be called Oaks of Righteousness, The planting of the LORD, that He may be glorified. Any thoughts??? : ) The similarities to fragrant heart from the dreams link above are striking .... myrtle flowers are also very fragrant ... Karen

Thank you dear Steven for sharing this vision.  I have read it several times over, since you posted this. It just lingers in my spirit.

It is simply  beautiful! So uplifting. I praise God for this vision.

love and blessings my dear brother

These all seem intertwined ...

Behold A Red Horse
.
Behold a red horse
Standing among the trees, the plantings of the LORD
A sweet scent spreading
The army of the LORD building amidst the mrytle blossoms
Planted, being positioned for a time such as this
A time when the Master brings righteousness into full bloom
A triumphal procession in Christ
Going out in joy, led forth in peace
The mountains and hills burst into song
And the trees of the field clap their hands
The heavens rejoice, the earth is glad
Let them say among the nations, "The LORD reigns!"
Everywhere the fragrance of Christ is spread
Hearts mended and captives set free
The earth filled with the knowledge of the glory of the LORD,
As the waters cover the sea ... (Hab 2:14)
.
And the trees of the field clap their hands
The heavens rejoice, the earth is glad
Let them say among the nations, "The LORD reigns!"
.
PRAISE THE LORD! May the whole earth be filled with His glory!
Amen and Amen. ... (Ps 72:19)

Steven,

I really like the vision you were given and the meaning of it. I, also, appreciate what others have shared along with the beauty of the portraits.

It is time to move forward to advance the Kingdom. Well into the places on the Heart of the Father, in those places He beckons the  call.. heed it quickly..

I remember you, the kindness of our youth, the love of your betrothal, when you went after Me in the wilderness, in a land not sown. Israel was holiness to the LORD, the first fruits of His increase all that devour him will offend;  diaster will come upon mthem, says the LORD

Jeremiah 2:2, 3

These are the ones who follow the Lamb wherever He goes.  These were redeemed from among men, being firstfruits to God and to the LAMB.    Revelation 14:4

Firstfruits....  the elect to be ready as it is time, ((( the hourglass ...........runs))) ... .. . . . . . . . .
