On this week a woman was killed on Interstate 93 near Boston when a flying manhole cover randomly blew off of its place on the side of the highway. The cover flew across traffic to hit and enter a woman’s car on the driver’s side and she was killed at impact. She was doing something as mundane as driving to work in the morning and she met her death in a very freakish accident. An unusual occurrence by any standard.

I was moved by the unusual occurrence and realized from what I have read in the scriptures that it is very much a phenomenon of the times in which we live. In the last days, death will come suddenly in ways unimagined in the past. This is being unleashed upon the Earth even now, and the people in it are being impacted by spiritual forces spoken of in Revelation. There are natural disasters, episodes of sudden violence, attacks by wild animals, and unusual accidents which are becoming the norms, not to mention famines and virulent attacks on the food supply and in the air making people sick, even to death.

The night after I saw that news story, I had a dream that illustrates this very thing, and I believe the Lord gave it to me to emphasize it so I do not take anything for granted. My husband and I were taking a ride in our vehicle, something commonplace for us, when we spotted a very unusual Cadillac Limousine. It was all white and in fact, the car was illuminated when in operation. That had a very supernatural air about it not easily explained but more felt. We watched it start up and take off very quickly ahead of us down the street we were traveling on. We didn’t think much of it except for its unusual appearance, and a sense of menace about it. A short time later we were driving on a winding mountainous road with cliffs on the left side of us. As we began to climb the mountain, we saw a little turnout place to the left and the Cadillac was parked there all dark. As we passed by, it lit up and began to follow us. At that point, my husband put pedal to the metal and was driving very quickly. I asked what he was doing? He said that the car was going to kill us. We drove off one of the cliffs and our death was eminent, so I said “You just did”, as we were falling from a great height. I cried out Lord, and I woke up. Later I recalled the account from Luke 13 of eighteen people who were killed suddenly when the tower of Siloam fell on them. Jesus took the opportunity to caution the people that those who met their death were no more sinners than anyone else in Jerusalem.

But anyone who remains unrepentant is in jeopardy of meeting a similar end. I believe that in these last days we will see more and more accounts like the woman with the manhole cover, to get the attention of anyone who has eyes to see the times in which we live.

“Of those eighteen, upon whom the tower in Siloam fell, and slew them, think ye that they were sinners above all men that dwelt in Jerusalem?
   I tell you, Nay: but except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish.”  Luke 13:4-5

It is imperative that those who long to be with Jesus be alert, awake to the spiritual conditions of this world, relying very closely on Jesus Christ and the Holy Ghost if they hope to avoid becoming one of the latest fatalities of these perilous days in which we live. Satan and his minions are determined to strike anyone and everyone who is in Christ. He would like nothing better than to silence anyone who is bold enough to speak of the truth, which is Jesus. If we are walking closely with Jesus we will have his protection from Satan’s machinations, but if we wander off we are in serious jeopardy., as those who were crushed by the tower in Israel.

The dream from the Lord was a serious warning not to be ignored, for me and my husband. It’s very good to walk with a contrite heart, being swift to repent at all times, as the Lord reveals details of our faults and sinfulness. God is merciful, He does give us warnings as in that account from Luke 13, and in the dream the Lord gave me. We must never take it for granted because there are limits to God’s mercy, as the scriptures attest. Do not be resistant to repentance, seek it and receive it, joyfully. You have everything to gain and nothing to lose by doing so.

“And I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seals, and I heard, as it were the noise of thunder, one of the four beasts saying, Come and see.
   And I saw, and behold a white horse: and he that sat on him had a bow; and a crown was given unto him: and he went forth conquering, and to conquer.
   And when he had opened the second seal, I heard the second beast say, Come and see.
   And there went out another horse that was red: and the power was given unto him that sat thereon to take peace from the earth, and that they should kill one another: and there was given unto him a great sword.
   And when he had opened the third seal, I heard the third beast say, Come and see. And I beheld, and lo a black horse; and he that sat on him had a pair of balances in his hand.
   And I heard a voice in the midst of the four beasts say, A measure of wheat for a penny, and three measures of barley for a penny; and see thou hurt not the oil and the wine.
   And when he had opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth beast say, Come and see.
   And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed him. And Power was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth.” Revelation 6:1-8
