21ST February 2008
27th January 2008, on the Zephnet radio interview http://www.zephnet.com/media/ChannelZ200801271000_48k.asx
I had shared fleetingly about the Boogeyman.
This remark emanated from a vision I had seen. Nonetheless, I did not feel led to share this vision, or the several others I had seen. On Sunday, the 17th of February 2008, an incident occurred, of which I had no part, but it reminded me of this vision, and I understood that the time was coming when I could share this vision.
The Vision…………..
I saw a Booth, on a busy business district street corner, such as can be seen in any major American city.
I saw two vendors. One stood in front of this Booth, with a cart, upon which he had jars of candy, and a machine that made pink candy floss.
Next to the Booth was a low wall. Upon that sat a man, who was a story-teller.
The Booth was unmanned and upon the front was laid piles of edible prophecies. Prophets rising up early, would come and place the edible prophecies they had received, on the front shelf of the Booth. People could take them for free. Some had a mild taste, whilst the others had a bitter medicinal taste to them.
However, I saw that both vendors, did all they could to attract people to their own ‘wares’. The candyman took up much of the footpath, leaving only a narrow passage way behind him, for the people to access the edible prophecies. There were those who simply put the edible prophecies in their mouths, and walked away, they were undeterred by the taste. But the multitudes that came disdained the taste and preferred the concoctions of the candyman, or the story teller.
The candyman took the prophecies that were bitter to the taste, and shredded it into teeny fragments, and pierced them through a stick and rolled the candy floss around it.
Those who did not like the bitter taste, would gather around this innovative candyman, and pay him a hefty price, for the candy floss. When they got to the end of the candy floss, they bit off and spat out the bitter tasting fragments.
The other vendor, who was a story teller, sat on the wall, surrounded by children. The story teller was a wannabe prophet whom the true prophets of God had admonished for bringing words not of God. Angry and rejected, the story teller sought to avenge himself on these prophets. He would take the mild and the bitter tasting prophecies and press and hammer them out of shape and create a boogeyman out of it. Sometimes the boogeyman he created looked human, other times, it looked part human and part animal. Then pointing to the boogeyman figure he would tell horror stories.
“ This man is a Pharisee, a religious freak”, the story teller would say in hushed tones, about the prophet, whose prophecy he had distorted.
Sometimes, as a ventriloquist he would make the boogeyman figure talk, and say frightening things.
When the prophets came to the Booth, to deliver their prophecies, the story teller would shout loud to the people gathering there, “BEWARE, BEWARE BEWARE”. But he never expanded on what to beware of. The immature who gathered there, never bothered to ask, beware of what, and why. They'd get petrified and run and hide. The boogeyman the story teller created, was an imaginary monster to frighten 'children', i.e. immature christians, so that he could get them to do what he wanted.
This story teller would create boogeyman prophecies that made the blood of the immature listeners and viewers curdle. If a true prophet prophesied one earthquake, these story tellers would add 10 more, to it. The boogeyman prophecies were meant to frighten and scare rather than warn people to prepare. Any prophet they did not like, or one who challenged them, about such made up prophecies or insinuations/barbs,which originated from the emotional hurts and rejections, the story teller would create ‘blood curdling boogeyman prophecies’, to turn /frighten people away from true prophets.
Both the vendors were jealous of the crowds that came to the Booth and tried their level best to turn people away from there, to them. They would hang around the Booth, and spy on the goings-on there.
The discerning knew what the candyman and the story teller were up to, so they would come silently to the Booth and pick up that which was there and quickly move away. But there were others there, who found the taste of the edible prophecies inedible. These grumbled and murmured.
And it was these grumblers and murmurers who were the target audiences of the two vendors.
I saw such vendors all over the land. Many church halls were filled to the ceilings with candy floss, whilst in other churches, where the story tellers held sway, people were hiding under chairs and tables, numb and paralyzed with fear, from hearing the boogeyman prophecies.
NEXT:
Now God Spoke to the true prophets and Told them to prepare to move on as He was Going to Take them to a new place.
“And who will go with us to this new place?” asked the prophets of the Lord.
“Those skilled in discernment, who judge not by outward appearance, such will go with you,” Replied the Lord.
“All who eat at the kiosk say they are discerning……………….” said one prophet.
“But are they skilled?” The Lord Asked.
The prophets looked puzzled. They did not personally know all the crowds who gathered at the Booth. They only knew a few. They knew there were many discerning ones who gathered there, as well as the fickle ones, who patronized the Booth as well as the vendors. As the prophets listened to all that the Lord Said, they realized that God was Going to Reveal to them those who were skilled in discernment.
Early the next day, the true prophets gathered opposite the Booth and the Lord Stood in their midst.
All the prophets expected the Lord to Point out to them those skilled in discernment.
Many standing at the Booth, waiting for the prophets to come with their prophecies became restless. The prophets were never late. But some in the crowd waited patiently, knowing in their spirit that the prophets would come, at God’s appointed time.
The Lord looked towards the crowd (none could see Him) and nudged a prophet to go to the Booth. The Lord Removed from the prophets’ hands, all the edible prophecies He Had Given them to deliver.
“You will deliver this later,” Said the Lord to His prophets.
Turning to the prophet who stood foremost in the line of prophets, He Nudged him and Said, “Go to the Booth”.
“Lord, shall I walk or run?” asked the prophet.
The Lord Handed him an extremely expensive looking coat, and hat with a bejeweled feather upon it, and Said, “Put this on, and strut all the way to the Booth and back here.”
The prophet nearly choked at the instruction.
“ But Lord………….how can I wear a coat as ostentatious as this ? And strut ?”
The Lord Stood there, Silent.
The prophet knew in his heart that had the Lord Told him to wear a beggar’s robe and crawl, he would have obeyed. So why was he hesitating now?
To his shame, he quickly understood that he was concerned not about obeying God, but the response of those gathered at the Booth, who would see him dressed in regalia.
The prophet took a deep breath, and whispered to himself, “To obey is better than sacrifice,” and quickly put on the ‘ostentatious looking’ robe and hat with feather, and strutted to the Booth.
Many in the crowd on seeing him, were shocked. Their jaws dropped!
The prophet regally strutted, reached the Booth and turned with a flourish and slowly started to walk back towards where the Lord Stood.
“Did ya see the Egyptian robe on him?” said a frequent visitor to the Booth. He was livid. Now, at the instigation and prompting of the boogeyman creator, the angry man quickly scribbled a ‘prophetic warning’ to all and sundry against all prophets found to be wearing such coats.
The offended ones gathered around this angry man and congratulated him on his profound discernment. None had bothered to look closely at the coat or hat or feather. All had been concentrating on the strut.
Now many in the crowd moved away from the Booth and stood next to the vendors, and stared at the prophet, as he strutted away from them.
“And he didn’t even bring a message from the Lord….he just came to strut,” said one disgruntled woman in the crowd.
The prophet had his eyes on the Lord, and cared not for the taunts. Some in the crowd stood silently by watching. Unlike others whose eyes were fixated on the strut, these looked closely at the coat and the hat and the feather, and knew that nothing the prophet was wearing was Egyptian.
Whilst the offended ones walked away, those skilled in discernment remained standing by the Booth. They understood that the Lord Was Conveying a message to them, through this. These would wait patiently at the Booth. A man from the offended crowd, came and put some 'manufactured' prophecies into the hands of one who continued to stand at the Booth. The title of the topmost 'prophecy' read: BEWARE THE EGYPTIAN COAT". The man at the Booth took one look at it and was disgusted. He threw the 'manufactured' prophecies into a nearby trashcan.
"That was no Egyptian coat. Who can make up such filth?" asked the man of another skilled discerner.
"The Candyman can and the Boogeyman can", came the reply.
NEXT:
I saw that from all those prophets gathered there, the Lord was removing the prophecies that they had readied themselves to deliver, and was Giving unto each tasks such as were uncharacteristic of them. Only when the prophets silently obeyed and did the ‘strange/odd’ tasks and argued not, but went quietly about their way to obey, that the prophecies the Lord Took out of their hands were returned to them.
Here I was reminded of this Scripture from Ezekiel.
Ezekiel 24:27 (King James Version)
27In that day shall thy mouth be opened to him which is escaped, and thou shalt speak, and be no more dumb: and thou shalt be a sign unto them; and they shall know that I am the LORD.
Most prophets were at first, quietly protesting. Each was given a different but all equally odd tasks. All the tasks that I saw given to these prophets reminded me of Peter and Ezekiel and the odd things they and other prophets in the Bible were asked to do. They who had vehemently spoken against merchandisers, were given bags full of goods to go and sell in full sight of all, and such other tasks that ‘seemed’ in direct conflict with all they had preached or prophesied. For a split moment, many of the prophets were concerned about how those to whom their God Given prophecies went, would react. All would have preferred a ‘holy’ looking task. But all resolved in their hearts, after a moment of hesitation, that obedience was better than sacrifice.
As I saw the various strange tasks being handed over to the prophets, I was reminded of Peter, and how he protested before the Lord:
Acts 10:10-16 (King James Version)
10And he became very hungry, and would have eaten: but while they made ready, he fell into a trance,
11And saw heaven opened, and a certain vessel descending upon him, as it had been a great sheet knit at the four corners, and let down to the earth:
12Wherein were all manner of fourfooted beasts of the earth, and wild beasts, and creeping things, and fowls of the air.
13And there came a voice to him, Rise, Peter; kill, and eat.
14But Peter said, Not so, Lord; for I have never eaten any thing that is common or unclean.
15And the voice spake unto him again the second time, What God hath cleansed, that call not thou common.
16This was done thrice: and the vessel was received up again into heaven.
I saw that those who were not offended by what they saw the prophets doing, but discerned that the Lord was Guiding them, in these seemingly ‘bizarre’ looking tasks, such remained unperturbed. But the offended ones joined hands with the boogeyman creator, and concocted frightening stories against the prophets of God.
The prophets were unperturbed by the response of the offended ones, rather they rejoiced and leaped in the air with great joy, for now, they could see the skilled discerners, who stood apart.
For they understood now that where the Lord Was Moving them to next, only those who judged not by outward appearance, but were skilled in discernment, could accompany them. They saw the divine process of elimination underway. They rejoiced that this was the season in which the Lord was Building strong teams comprising of those who having walked closely with Him, were skilled in discernment, and were not swayed by outward appearances but knew how to judge righteous judgment.
As the vision concluded, I saw that there were such Booths, world over.

Shalom Swarna,
Indeed, HE is separating the wheat from the chaff!!! HE is calling HIS Chosen Prophets before HIM, and testing them one last time, to see who will be obedient unto HIM... The others have sealed their fate by resisting, twisting, changing and distorting HIS True Word that HIS True Prophets have brought forth... Woe unto them!!!
Below, you will see where I pasted the Battle Hymn of the Republic written by Julia Ward Howe during the civil war...
I was reminded of the first stanza of the song about, "HIM trampling out the vintage where the grapes of wrath are stored," concerning those who follow after the boogyman and the candy man prophets...
Swarna, I ask that you got to this site and just listen to the music of this powerful song... I know that Julia Ward Howe wrote it concerning the battle of the Civil War, however, Spiritually it applies to HIS Chosen Ones fighting the War against the evil one, and that is how I see it and receive it... I did not get through the first stanza and the tears poured from my eyes and my body was racked with sobs I was so greatly moved!!! Even now my eyes mist over at the spiritual meaning of this song...
I used to think that the United States should have made this song their national anthem, and I still think they should have...
Every child of Elohim can take this song and apply it to the spiritual battle that we have to wage against the enemy... Truly this was inspired of HOLY SPIRIT for this dear woman to write during a time of great distress, agony and shame...!!! What a terrible stain to be upon any nation, a war amongst themselves, killing brothers fathers, sisters and mothers... How terrible!!!
THERE IS EVEN NOW A CIVIL WAR WAGING AMONGST MY PEOPLE SAITH THE HOLY ONE OF YISRAEL, AND I AM WROTH IN MY ANGER, MY FURY, FOR THIS IS NOT WHAT I AM WISHES!!! BEHOLD I COME IN MY FURY SAITH THE HOLY ONE OF YISRAEL AND I WILL MEET OUT MY JUSTICE AND MY RECOMPENSE, AND I WILL SLAY THE WICKED SHEPHERDS WHO HAVE DEVASTATED MY CHURCH, SAITH THE YAHWAH OF HOSTS!!!
I AM WILL MAKE WAR IN JUSTICE AND I AM WILL JUDGE SEVERELY THE HEIRLINGS WHO CALL THEMSELVES SHEPHERDS AND THE FALSE PROPHETS WHO SPEAK LIES IN MY NAME AND LEAD MY PEOPLE ASTRAY!!! BEHOLD THE LIGHTNING OF MY TERRIBLE SWIFT SWORD, FOR IT SHALL COME UPON YOU AND CUT YOU ASUNDER SAITH THE HOLY ONE OF YISRAEL!!!
I AM WEEPING FOR MY PEOPLE SAITH THE HOLY ONE OF YISRAEL, HEAR ME MY PEOPLE, HEAR ME MY PEOPLE, HEAR ME MY PEOPLE!!! I AM COMING IN MY ANGER AND IN MY INDIGNATION AND I WILL SLAY THOSE WHO HAVE TORTURED YOU LO THESE MANY MILLENNIA, AND I AM WILL BRING THEM TO JUSTICE AND THEY SHALL BE PUNISHED FOR ALL OF ETERNITY AND YOU SHALL GAZE UPON THEM FROM A SAFE PLACE... BEHOLD, I AM COME ALSO IN MY LOVE FOR MY BRETHREN, MY PEOPLE, MY FAMILY, MY CHOSEN ONES AND MY BRIDE!!!
LOOK UP AND REJOICE FOR YOUR REDEMPTION DRAWETH NIGH... I AM COMING IN MY GLORY, IN MY SPLENDOR AND IN MY RIGHTEOUSNESS, AND I AM WILL TAKE YOU TO BE FOREVER MORE WITH ME, AND YOU SHALL NO MORE BE ALONE, FOR I AM WILL BE WITH YOU THROUGHOUT THE ETERNITY OF ETERNITIES!!! BEHOLD I SPEAK THE TRUTH, I DO NOT LIE, I AM COME FOR HIS OWN!!! AMEN!!! SO BE IT!!! I AM COME FOR MY OWN!!! AMEN!!! SO BE IT!!! I AM COME FOR MY BRIDE!!! AMEN!!! SO BE IT!!! IT IS DONE...............~
yosef~
P.S. Swarna, as I was listing to the music of the Battle Hymn of the Republic, the Spirit of Prophecy came upon me and the tears flowed like a river and these words came forth as I sobbed and I sensed the heat of HOLY SPIRIT so hot upon my head and shoulders, a very intense heat!!! These are the words from the heart of YAHSHUAH that HE has spoken through me, for HIS Body and for anyone who will read and heed!!! Amen!!! I am so humbled, that HE would use someone such as me... I Love HIM so!!!
I pray that HE leads you to post these prophetic Words that HE has just given through me... Swarna, I sensed the grief in HIS heart at the desolation that going on spiritually as well as in the natural!!! HE is so grieved, and HE so loves all the people, and HE desires that none perish, but to those who have made their choice, HE has no recourse but to judge............ Se'lah~

Julia W. Howe (1819-1910)
Words: Julia W. Howe, 1861, alt.
This hymn was born during the American civil war, when Howe visited a Union Army camp on the Potomac River near Washington, D. C. She heard the soldiers singing the song “John Brown’s Body,” and was taken with the strong marching beat. She wrote the words the next day:
I awoke in the grey of the morning, and as I lay waiting for dawn, the long lines of the desired poem began to entwine themselves in my mind, and I said to myself, “I must get up and write these verses, lest I fall asleep and forget them!” So I sprang out of bed and in the dimness found an old stump of a pen, which I remembered using the day before. I scrawled the verses almost without looking at the paper.
The hymn appeared in the Atlantic Monthly in 1862. It was sung at the funerals of British statesman Winston Churchill, American senator Robert Kennedy, and American presidents Ronald Reagan and Richard Nixon.
Music: John Brown’s Body, possibly by John William Steffe (MIDI, score). John Brown was an American abolitionist who led a short lived insurrection to free the slaves.

BATTLE HYMN OF THE REPUBLIC
Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord;
He is trampling out the vintage where the grapes of wrath are stored;
He hath loosed the fateful lightning of His terrible swift sword;
His truth is marching on.
Glory! Glory! Hallelujah! Glory! Glory! Hallelujah!
Glory! Glory! Hallelujah! His truth is marching on.
I have seen Him in the watch fires of a hundred circling camps
They have builded Him an altar in the evening dews and damps;
I can read His righteous sentence by the dim and flaring lamps;
His day is marching on.
Glory! Glory! Hallelujah! Glory! Glory! Hallelujah!
Glory! Glory! Hallelujah! His day is marching on.
I have read a fiery Gospel writ in burnished rows of steel;
“As ye deal with My contemners, so with you My grace shall deal”;
Let the Hero, born of woman, crush the serpent with His heel,
Since God is marching on.
Glory! Glory! Hallelujah! Glory! Glory! Hallelujah!
Glory! Glory! Hallelujah! Since God is marching on.
He has sounded forth the trumpet that shall never call retreat;
He is sifting out the hearts of men before His judgment seat;
Oh, be swift, my soul, to answer Him! be jubilant, my feet;
Our God is marching on.
Glory! Glory! Hallelujah! Glory! Glory! Hallelujah!
Glory! Glory! Hallelujah! Our God is marching on.
In the beauty of the lilies Christ was born across the sea,
With a glory in His bosom that transfigures you and me:
As He died to make men holy, let us live to make men free;
[originally …let us die to make men free]
While God is marching on.
Glory! Glory! Hallelujah! Glory! Glory! Hallelujah!
Glory! Glory! Hallelujah! While God is marching on.
He is coming like the glory of the morning on the wave,
He is wisdom to the mighty, He is honor to the brave;
So the world shall be His footstool, and the soul of wrong His slave,
Our God is marching on.
Glory! Glory! Hallelujah! Glory! Glory! Hallelujah!
Glory! Glory! Hallelujah! Our God is marching on.
YAHSHUAH is the sole expression of the glory of Elohim, the Light-being, the out-raying or radiance of the divine, and HE is the perfect imprint and very image of Elohim's nature. Heb 1:3a
