VISION OF ROCK SALT
by James Sundquist
I had vision in a dream many years ago of a huge piece of rock salt on top of an anvil that the piece of rock salt was resting. It was a vision I had in the spirit. IT was a very apocalyptic dream about the Church and the End Times and what the church needed to do and what was going to be happening in the End Times and why the salt needed to becoming bloodied in order to take the poisons out of the meat, preserve the meat, and flavor the meet, the meat representing the world. I learned later that the vision represented things that were going to come upon the earth in the future. When I had the vision I did not connect it to Islam, but now looking back, I can see why the vision is increasingly relevant and critical.
Here is what I saw. I saw this huge piece of rock salt that was the size of the earth sitting on a steel anvil which was even larger than the earth. A dialogue was going on between my spirit and the spirit of the Lord. The Lord would keep asking me what I was seeing. And of course I would describe that I was seeing this huge piece of rock salt sitting on this anvil. Then the spirit would speak expressly back saying “well and good”, confirming what I was seeing. The next thing that happened was the camera then zoomed in to the piece of rock salt and you would see it very close up, and the spirit would ask again “what do you see now?” Then I said: “Well, I see all of this huge scaffolding all over this rock salt, all the way around the rock salt, completely surrounding the piece. Then I saw thousands and millions of these workers standing on the scaffolding with chisels and hammers, chipping away at the rock salt. These workers also had these cloths which they would then use to polish the areas and facets of the area of the rock they were working on. These workers are making the rock beautifully faceted and shiny, in the manner that a diamond would be, so make it sparkle, making it into a beautiful gleaming gem. A grotesque piece of rock salt is being turning into a beautiful stone.” So I said to the Lord: “Isn’t this a good thing? All of these people working so hard to create this beautiful shiny gem?” Then the Lord would speak back to me: “No, this is not a good thing!” Then I said: “Why is that?” Then the spirit of the Lord said: “The big piece of rock salt that you see represents the Church in the Last days. What you are seeing is what the laborers in the Church are doing, thinking they are pleasing me. But they are not pleasing me!” Then the camera zoomed back a great distance and I saw a huge piece of raw meat that was out there in the Universe. Remember that in this vision, the piece of rock salt is as large as the earth. So, as the camera would zoom back, I would see this big piece of raw meat. So, then I said to myself, I wonder what that stands for. Then the Lord, knowing my thoughts, then confirmed in my spirit, that the meat represented the world. Then the Lord would ask me: “Is this what I have called the Church to be?” So, I asked the Lord: “what is the meaning of all these things?” Then what happened is that I looked up and saw this giant sledge hammer that seemed as large as the solar system coming down in slow motion, smashing the rock salt that was on the steel anvil. Then I saw this huge piece of rock salt just exploding in every direction, like a bomb blowing up, sending tiny shards and pieces into every direction. These pieces did not look beautiful at all and had ragged and jagged edges on every piece. And they were just flying out into this piece of raw meat, just embedding themselves into this piece of raw meat, even to the point of being submerged in the meat. So I greatly marveled at this. So I asked the Lord: “What is the meaning of this?” The spirit of the Lord then spoke to my heart and said: “This is what I have called the Church to be, and that is to be the rock salt, or the salt of the earth, in order to draw the poisons out of the meat of the world, preserve the meat of the world, and savor the meat of the world.” “The Church has not been doing what I called it to do. So now I am going to accomplish what I have called it to do, and that the Church will be embedded into the meat so that it would achieve its ultimate goal.” And of course the pieces of the rock salt became all bloodied, even ugly, and completely lost its beauty as a gemstone, that you would care to gaze upon it, and marvel how sparkling and beautiful the rock salt, and the pieces that were buried in the meat were accomplishing its function without even being seen. I was amazed that the Church was intended to function as thousands of little pieces rather than one single unit. Then the Lord said: “This will accomplish what I have called the Church to be in order to carry out the Great Commission.” Then the vision disappeared.
Years later the Lord quickened my heart to study Islam in greater depth nearly two years prior to 9/11. He then directed me on the Internet to a speech given by Avi Lipkin on Chuck Missler’s website entitled: “The Church’s Revival for Israel’s Survival.” This speech was a real wakeup call for me as well as the Church both for its posture towards Israel as well as the threat of Islam to the Church as well as America and the world. Then when 9/11 occurred I really begin to tie the vision together with urgency of warning the Church as well as teaching the Church about our role in the End Times and what it might take to be equipped to do the work of the ministry and to have the full armor of God. I was then taken to the Scripture: I Corinthians 14:8 “For if the trumpet give an uncertain sound, who shall prepare himself to the battle?” And, indeed, it is a great battle, if not the prelude to Armageddon.
