I took this photo in the midst of a sudden storm today. Can you see the dude? π

Smash the jaws of these lions, O Lord!The image number is 5591 ππ» HEBREW 5591 YOU HAVE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME!!! ππ€―π€― ππ» 5591. ca'ar .. meaning: to storm, to rage, to be tempestuous (AND NOW I HEAR THUNDER).
Χ‘ַΧ’ַΧ¨ consistently evokes the violence and suddenness of a whirlwind or tempest. Whether it tears across land (Jeremiah 25:32) or churns the sea (Psalm 107:25), the word keeps the reader’s imagination fixed on irresistible power unleashed from above.
Voice of God – “Then the LORD answered Job out of the whirlwind” (Job 38:1; 40:6). Here the storm frames divine self-disclosure, underscoring that human wisdom is silenced when God speaks.
National judgment: “Behold, the storm of the LORD has gone out in fury—a whirlwind swirling down upon the heads of the wicked” (Jeremiah 23:19; 30:23).
Eschatological terror: “The LORD of Hosts will come…with thunder and earthquake and great noise, with whirlwind and storm” (Isaiah 29:6).
In every instance the whirlwind is not random weather but targeted retribution. The repetition of Jeremiah 23:19 and 30:23 cements the theme: judgment is swift, circular, and inescapable.
Zechariah 9:14 pictures the LORD appearing “with whirlwinds of the south.” The imagery anticipates the Day of the LORD when divine presence, judgment, and victory converge. Isaiah 40:24 and 41:16 add agricultural metaphors—whirlwinds uproot princes and scatter chaff—hinting that human power structures are as fragile as straw before God’s wind.
Χ‘ַΧ’ַΧ¨ weaves together revelation, judgment, and deliverance. It is the roar that hushes pride, the blast that topples empires, and, when stilled by divine mercy, the hush that brings peace.
ADDITIONAL IMAGE NUMBERS ON THE PHOTOS IN THIS POST LED TO FURTHER REVELATION. HOLY SPIRIT REVEALED THE STORM IS RELATED TO GOD STRIKING EVIL WITH PUBLIC EXPOSURE.

HOLY SPIRIT IS RELATING TODAY'S STORM TO LABOR PAINS .. THE GREATEST PAIN COMES JUST BEFORE BREAKTHROUGH SO HOLD THE LINE SAINTS AND KEEP PERSISTING IN PRAYER AND WORSHIP. GOD WILL SEE THIS BIRTH THROUGH TO COMPLETION.
IMAGE NUMBER 5606 ππ» HEBREW 5606 ππ» saphaq ππ» clap, strike, smite, slap, to be enough, derision, grief, indignation, or punishment
The Hebrew verb Χ‘ָΧ€ַΧ§ (Strong’s 5606) portrays forceful contact of the hands or body—clapping, striking, clasping, or sufficing—used by Scripture writers to register intense emotion, decisive judgment, covenantal alliance, or uncompromising warning.
Judicial Striking—God’s Public Exposure of Evil
Job 34 twice employs the verb to describe divine retribution:
• “He strikes the wicked among them in a place where all can see” (Job 34:26).
• “He adds rebellion to his sin; he claps his hands among us” (Job 34:37).
The legal setting signals that God’s judgments are neither secret nor capricious; they are open demonstrations of His righteousness that silence every objection.
National Humiliation of Moab
Jeremiah 48:26 predicts that Moab, proud of its strength, will reel in drunken disgrace. Though the does not translate Χ‘ָΧ€ַΧ§ as “clap” here, the underlying idea is unsparing exposure—Moab’s self-exaltation will meet a blow that leaves it staggering and mocked. Nations that magnify themselves against the Lord inevitably experience His emphatic strike.
Just as Ψ±Ψ§Ψ² Χ‘ָΧ€ַΧ§ can convey both judgment and reconciliation, the Crucifixion reveals God’s hands striking His own Son (Isaiah 53:10) so that repentant sinners can “clap their hands” in thankful praise (Psalm 47:1). The gestural language anticipates the final scene where every hand will be lifted in worship before the pierced yet reigning Lamb.
IMAGE NUMBER 5605 ππ» HEBREW 5605 ππ» Γ³dinΓ³ ππ» to suffer birth pangs, to travail, to be in labor
The verb rendered by Strong’s Greek 5605 communicates the intense pain, struggle, and expectancy that accompany childbirth. Scripture appropriates this vivid human experience to describe God’s redemptive purposes unfolding in individuals, communities, and cosmic history. Just as labor pains herald the imminent arrival of new life, spiritual travail signals the coming manifestation of divine promise.
Galatians 4:19—“My children, for whom I am again in the pains of childbirth until Christ is formed in you”.
Galatians 4:27—Paul cites Isaiah 54:1, applying the language of the barren woman “in labor” to the church’s expansion.
Revelation 12:2—The apocalyptic sign of the woman “crying out in labor and in pain to give birth” dramatizes the conflict preceding the Messiah’s victory.
While the term itself appears only three times, each setting portrays strategic moments when the covenant purposes of God are about to break through.
Prophets repeatedly depicted Zion’s future glory with childbirth imagery (Isaiah 26:17–18; Isaiah 66:7–9; Micah 4:9–10). These passages set an interpretive backdrop for New Testament writers, who see the final stages of God’s plan as labor that must give way to the joy of new creation (compare John 16:21).
Revelation 12:2 places the laboring woman at the midpoint of cosmic warfare. Her pains coincide with satanic opposition, yet the child is safely delivered. The image fuses past (the Incarnation), present (persecution), and future (the kingdom’s consummation), assuring believers that suffering precedes—but cannot prevent—God’s decisive triumph.
Incarnation and Redemption: Labor pains anticipate the birth of the Messiah and the emergence of His likeness in the saints.
Adoption and Promise: As Isaiah foretold, nations are gathered into Abraham’s family through supernatural birth, not natural descent.
Perseverance amid Tribulation: Pain precedes glory; believers interpret present affliction as “light” and “momentary” compared with the joy to follow (2 Corinthians 4:17).
Cosmic Renewal: All creation “has been groaning together in the pains of childbirth” (Romans 8:22), an echo of the term’s thematic resonance even when a different verb is used, highlighting universal longing for restoration.
Believers are invited to participate in God’s redemptive process with the patience and expectancy of a mother in labor. Moments of spiritual pressure are not omens of failure but heralds of imminent fruitfulness. Like Paul, Christians persevere “again” and again until Christ’s character is fully manifest, confident that the same Lord who began the work will bring it to completion at the appearing of Jesus Christ.
I PRAYED DURING THE STORM AND TOOK AUTHORITY OVER THE EVIL SPIRITS (THERE WERE MANY VISIBLE DEMONS OVERHEAD AS THE WIND GUSTED) AND I COMMANDED PEACE BE STILL IN THE NAME OF JESUS CHRIST .. AND THEN I WORSHIPPED THE LORD. THE STORM SOON CALMED UNTIL THERE WAS ONLY A SLIGHT BREEZE. AND I SAW A RAINBOW.
Then I got another photo as the storm was trying to reform. Can you see him???

Romans 8:26: “In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness…” As creation groans (verse 22) and believers groan (verse 23), the Spirit groans “likewise.”
THE ADDITIONAL IMAGE NUMBER ON THIS PHOTO LED TO FURTHER REVELATION. HOLY SPIRIT REVEALED GOD AS A WARRIOR .. RIDING THE STORM!!! ANNOUNCING IMMINENT VISITATION BY OUR HOLY AND RIGHTEOUS GOD. HE IS ABOUT TO ADMINISTER JUSTICE AND DELIVER HIS PEOPLE FROM BONDAGE.
IMAGE NUMBERE 5645 ππ» HEBREW 5645 ππ» ab ππ» cloud, thick cloud, darkness
Χ’ָΧ consistently evokes a picture of thick, weighty cloud‐mass—sometimes bright with covenant promise, at other times foreboding with judgment. The term is often coupled with “darkness” (Deuteronomy 4:11; Joel 2:2), shaping a literary contrast between the veiled majesty of God and His blazing holiness.
Canonical Distribution (≈ 32 uses)
• Torah: Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Deuteronomy
• Historical Books: Judges, Samuel, Kings
• Wisdom and Poetry: Job, Psalms, Proverbs
• Prophets (Major and Minor): Isaiah, Jeremiah, Lamentations, Ezekiel, Joel, Zephaniah, Zechariah
The spread from Genesis to Zechariah allows the motif to frame redemptive history—from the post-Flood covenant to eschatological rain.
Divine Warrior Motif:
David’s song (2 Samuel 22:10-12; echoed in Psalm 18:11) depicts Yahweh descending with “dark clouds beneath His feet… a gathering of water and thick clouds.” The imagery portrays God as a storm-riding warrior whose very approach changes atmospheric conditions. Job 37:11 intensifies this aspect by speaking of clouds laden with lightning, ready to fulfill divine bidding.
Prophetic “Day of the LORD” Gloom:
Χ’ָΧ becomes an eschatological alarm in Joel 2:2; Zephaniah 1:15; Ezekiel 30:3: “a day of clouds and blackness.” The prophets leverage the image to announce imminent visitation—either in historical judgment (Egypt, Nineveh, Judah) or in the ultimate accounting. The density of the cloud mirrors the gravity of divine justice.
BLOGGER NOTED THE TIME I STARTED THIS POST WAS 2:05 ππ» JOEL 2 VERSES 1-5 SPEAK ABOUT DARK CLOUDS ASSOCIATED WITH "THE DAY OF THE LORD."
JOEL 2:1-5 NLT Sound the trumpet in Jerusalem! Raise the alarm on my holy mountain! Let everyone tremble in fear because the day of the Lord is upon us. It is a day of darkness and gloom, a day of thick clouds and deep blackness. Suddenly, like dawn spreading across the mountains, a great and mighty army appears. Nothing like it has been seen before or will ever be seen again. Fire burns in front of them, and flames follow after them. Ahead of them the land lies as beautiful as the Garden of Eden. Behind them is nothing but desolation; not one thing escapes. They look like horses; they charge forward like warhorses. Look at them as they leap along the mountaintops. Listen to the noise they make—like the rumbling of chariots, like the roar of fire sweeping across a field of stubble, or like a mighty army moving into battle.
"If you openly declare Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is by believing in your heart that you are made right with God, and it is by openly declaring your faith that you are saved.”
Romans 10:9-11
RAISE YOUR HANDS IN SUBMISSION & FROM YOUR HEART PRAY THIS PRAYER ALOUD TO RECEIVE ETERNAL SALVATION. YOU MUST BE SINCERE AND INVITE JESUS TO BE THE LORD OF YOUR LIFE. AND THEN YIELD TO HIM!!!
Jesus, I declare that You are the Son of God who died for my sins. I believe you were raised on the third day and are now seated at the right hand of God the Father. I confess my sins to you now & ask for Your forgiveness. I ask you to come and live in my heart & to be my Lord and Savior. I surrender my life to You. Thank you for giving me Your righteousness, for transforming me into Your image and making me a child of God.
