The Killing of the Bull Part One
1998
Bob Neumann
I was standing in that place of relativeness that Isaiah called the valley of Vision. When I was aware of this fact I saw a figure who was waiting for me, so to speak. As before HE was dressed in traveling attire, a heavy full cloak with a hood. Unlike the times I have seen my MASTER, the LORD OF HOSTS dressed this way, I too seemed to be wearing the same hooded cloak.
As I came to HIM HE nodded HIS HEAD and turned and walked with me just at and behind HIS left shoulder. We walked quickly and with both purpose and intent till we seemed to enter a much wider and open area. When HE stopped, HE made a half turn toward me and calmly stated: "YOU MUST KNOW WHAT IS ABOUT TO TAKE PLACE".
HE turned HIS HEAD and looked out into the center of this space and there stood this large Texas Longhorn type 'bull'. Exactly what you would see at UTexas football games or on commercials for the stock market. It's horns were wide and came to quite impressive points. It stood still in the center of a circle of light as a 'spot light' would cause.
"THIS IS THE TRUE GOD OF AMERICA'' stated my MASTER. Slowly the 'bull' began to move and the spotlight moved with 'him', wherever the 'bull' moved the spotlight moved with 'him'. Every now and then it seemed to move suddenly and strike a pose.
''AND THAT IS HOW IT HAS BEEN'', stated the LORD, "BUT THIS IS HOW IT NOW IS...." As the 'bull' stood still the light began to move away from 'him' the 'bull' would move to get back into the light. Each time the light moved farther and the 'bull' had to move farther and faster to stay in the light. Now it seemed the 'bull' was chasing the light and never really catching it.
By this time I had a good idea that we were standing inside an arena like area and there were ''figures'' on the edges of the area but I couldn't distinguish anything besides shadow-figures.
"NOW YOU MUST SEE WHAT HAS HAPPENED AND WHAT WILL QUICKLY COME TO PASS..."
The 'bull' stood again in the center of the arena and the light was on 'him'. For the first time I noticed a large figure standing across from where we stood, staring at the 'bull'. In size and shape he was identical to MY CAPTAIN but a ''shadow-figure'' and I knew it was the 'BEAST'.
As I turned to THE LORD with questions running through my mind/spirit HE lifted HIS RIGHT HAND and everything froze, time/space/eternity, everything stopped dead so to speak.
With a casual move HE brushed back HIS HOOD and I once again looked into the FACE of my KING. With a half smile and a slight turn of HIS HEAD HE slapped me on the shoulder and explained.
"ONCE MY PEOPLE BUILT AN IMAGE OF A CALF OF GOLD TO WORSHIP. AMERICA HAS ALLOWED THAT CALF TO GROW UP AND REPRESENT ALL THAT IT WORSHIPS.'' Suddenly I felt something in my right hand and I looked and saw some coins.
"WHOSE IMAGE DO YOU SEE?", HE asked. as I looked into my hand and saw a nickel, a quarter, and a coin that looked like gold and a coin that looked like silver. All I could think was "it isn't you LORD". "THEN WHAT DOES IT SAY?" HE asked gently. I replied "IN GOD WE TRUST".
As HE turned toward the "bull'' in the light HE explained.
"MAN CAN NOT SERVE TWO MASTERS. YOUR PEOPLE CHOSE TO SERVE MAMMON AND NOT ME. THE RELIGIOUS IMAGES IN YOUR HAND DECLARE TO THE WORLD THEIR TRUST IS IN THEIR GOD. HAVE YOU NOTICED THEIR GOD?'' with that we turned and walked to the 'bull'. And 'he' began again to move. It seemed to notice our approach and ignored us. I looked and was wondering what I was supposed to be looking for. For some reason I began to stare at it's nose and couldn't figure it out. "THIS IS AN ANIMAL THAT HAS NOT BEEN TAMED. IT RUNS WHERE IT CHOOSES AND CAN NOT BE CONTROLLED''. With that I had an image of a nose ring, where you would lead a 'bull'. "THEIR GOD IS NOT CONTROLLED AS THEY WOULD LIKE IT TO BE. SO THEY WILL CHANGE IT SOON. BUT HAVE YOU NOTICED ANYTHING WRONG WITH THEIR BULL?''
Now I really had to wonder and I began to walk around it when it responded to nature and released a couple gallons of urine and a very large 'patty'. the animal had no concern where it hit when it splattered. And it stood in a good scattering of similar stuff. But with the 'deposit' I got a good look at the posterior and realized it really wasn't a bull after all. just a 'steer'.
"THE LIE GOES FAR BEYOND WHO THEIR GOD IS. BUT EVEN THEN THEIR IDOL CAN NOT EVEN DO WHAT THEY SEEK THE MOST, REPRODUCE ITSELF. THAT IS THE LIE THAT WILL BRING THE DESTRUCTION OF YOUR COUNTRY. YOU TOLD THE NATIONS AND PRINCES OF THIS WORLD IF THEY DRANK FROM YOUR CUP AND WORSHIPPED YOUR IDOL IT WOULD REPRODUCE ITSELF. BUT YOUR LEADERS KNEW THAT IT COULD NOT AND TOOK ALL THE WEALTH IT COULD FROM THOSE WHO BELIEVED THEIR LIES, DREAMS, AND VISIONS. NOW THEY WILL STRIKE AT YOU THROUGH YOUR GOD."
With that statement HE turned away and returned to our place of observation. And as it seemed appropriate I dropped the coins in the fresh patty near my feet and took my place at his side.
As easily as time stopped it began again. The 'beast' came closer to the steer. The steer shied away. It did not challenge and paw the ground like you see in bullfights, another confirmation that it was not a 'bull'. Suddenly the spotlight disappeared and the 'arena' was now seen. the shadow figures filled the arena's seats, all sizes and shapes. As I stood watching the sense of anticipation and imminence grew. All of a sudden a roar of trumpets blared a long 'musical' fanfare and as it ended the 'bull' was 'struck' and reeled backward and as the 'cheers' of the 'crowd' arose it steadied it's feet and shook it's head to 'clear the cobwebs'. We waited again. and without warning the 'trumpet fanfare' began. It was louder and lasted longer, as it ended the 'bull jerked to it's side and again the cheer rang up. Now four long deep gashes appeared on each flank and blood began to flow. Now the wait was shorter and I began to count. Again the third fanfare and cheers were louder and longer as again the 'bull' was struck backward and nearly fell off it's feet. The fourth assault left laceration across all four legs. The fifth assault pushed it's head down and as it fell to it's knees it's whole body began to tremor and shake. As it came to it's feet again blood flowed from its nostrils and pink foaming from the mouth and I thought 'mad cow disease'. The sixth assault came with no waiting period and this time it was struck backward with such force it was knocked off it's feet and slid backward in it's excrement.
This time the 'bull' struggled to get up and it was obvious a rear leg was broken. As the seventh fanfare began shadows charged out into the arena and took hold of the 'bull' and turned it on it's back and held it down. I noticed the beast come forward with a short slim sword in it's hand. And as the fanfare ended he slashed the 'bull's' neck and as the cheers went up small black critters in unbelievable numbers ran out to drink the blood. As the cheer ended the eighth fanfare began and the beast slashed the belly of the bull from top to bottom. As the disembowelment occurred the cheers began and many large critters began to feed on the entrails. The ninth fanfare and cheer came as the head was severed from the carcass as the carcass was drawn and quartered. And immediately a short tenth fanfare and cheer came as the critters ran off in four different directions each with a chunk of meat. At this point I noticed the eyes just now glaze over as the bull/steer/america finally dies after all this brutal treatment; awake and aware of all that took place.
As the scene completely vanished we turned around and this time slowly retraced our steps. As we walked THE LORD explained what I had witnessed.
''SEVEN BLOWS WILL BE GIVEN BUT TEN JUDGMENTS ARE RESERVED FOR EGYPT. SEVEN BLOWS WILL BRING DOWN THE IDOL OF AMERICA. THE FIRST TWO HAVE STUCK AND YOUR COUNTRY BLEEDS. THE FIRST WAS A BLOW THAT DROVE YOUR GOD BACKWARD, BUT IT CAME BACK A BIT. THE SECOND BLOW CUT DEEPLY INTO IT'S LOINS AND WEAKENED IT'S STRONGEST POINTS. THE THIRD BLOW WILL COME SHORTLY AND WILL STRIKE IT BACKWARD AND IT WILL NOT RECOVER IT'S LOST GROUND. THE FOURTH BLOW WILL NOW DESTROY IT'S ABILITY TO MOVE AND EVADE THE NEXT BLOW WHICH WILL BE A PESTILENCE FROM A FOE YOU DID NOT EXPECT. THAT IS THE FIFTH AND DECIDING BLOW. THE SIXTH BLOW WILL CRIPPLE YOUR IDOL AND DELIVER IT TO THE BEAST FOR DEVOURING. THE SEVENTH BLOW IS THE DEATH BLOW. YET THE EIGHTH, NINTH, AND TENTH THAT WILL STRIP, DIVIDE, AND DEVOUR WILL BE THE NOURISHMENT NEEDED TO EMPOWER THE BEAST FOR THE SHORT TIME HE HAS LEFT.''
At this point we stopped and HE faced me and once again placed the HOOD over HIS HEAD.
"THAT IS WHY I SENT YOU TO GOSHEN FOR I HAVE A REMNANT EVEN IN EGYPT. IN THE HEART OF BABYLON I CALLED TO THEM AND THOSE WHO KNOW MY VOICE HEARD AND CAME OUT. BUT IN EGYPT THEY ARE IN BONDAGE AND I SEND MY SERVANTS TO THEM TILL THE INDIGNATION IS PASSED AND THE PLAGUES HAVE FALLEN UPON THOSE WHO HAVE HARDENED THEIR HEARTS.'' ''IT'S GOING TO BE ALL RIGHT'', He laughed as he gripped my shoulder.
"YOU KNOW WHAT WILL NEED TO BE DONE AND YOU WILL DO IT. THERE ARE MANY WHO WILL FIND SAFETY IN THE MIDST OF THE STORM AND THE DARKEST OF THE NIGHT. GUARD MY SHEEP OLD DOG A LITTLE WHILE LONGER''.
and it ended.

The Killing of the Bull Part Two

THE KILLING OF THE BULL has been 'in process' for over 3, almost 4 years. When we think of a "blow" we think of a boxer shooting jabs and hooks at an opponent. in the vision THE MASTER says a very curious thing... ''SEVEN BLOWS WILL BE GIVEN BUT TEN JUDGMENTS ARE RESERVED FOR EGYPT. SEVEN BLOWS WILL BRING DOWN THE IDOL OF AMERICA. THE FIRST TWO HAVE STUCK AND YOUR COUNTRY BLEEDS. THE FIRST WAS A BLOW THAT DROVE YOUR GOD BACKWARD, BUT IT CAME BACK A BIT. THE SECOND BLOW CUT DEEPLY INTO IT'S LOINS AND WEAKENED IT'S STRONGEST POINTS. THE THIRD BLOW WILL COME SHORTLY AND WILL STRIKE IT BACKWARD AND IT WILL NOT RECOVER IT'S LOST GROUND. THE FOURTH BLOW WILL NOW DESTROY IT'S ABILITY TO MOVE AND EVADE THE NEXT BLOW WHICH WILL BE A PESTILENCE FROM A FOE YOU DID NOT EXPECT. THAT IS THE FIFTH AND DECIDING BLOW. THE SIXTH BLOW WILL CRIPPLE YOUR IDOL AND DELIVER IT TO THE BEAST FOR DEVOURING. THE SEVENTH BLOW IS THE DEATH BLOW. YET THE EIGHTH, NINTH, AND TENTH THAT WILL STRIP, DIVIDE, AND DEVOUR WILL BE THE NOURISHMENT NEEDED TO EMPOWER THE BEAST FOR THE SHORT TIME HE HAS LEFT.''
now there are 4 more judgments coming....PLAGUES if you will. THE SEVENTH BLOW WILL DESTROY the SOVEREIGN ENTITY we "KNOW" as the USofA. It was not the physical attack on 9/11/01 by whomever...or the anthrax incidents....but the GOVERNMENTAL ACTIONS to create a "HOMELAND DEFENSE" post in the cabinet and the passage of bills, laws, rules that will make the UNITED STATES a "police state".
oh, the Chinese/Russian invasion ...that will "strip" the continent of material wealth and food supplies….but the locusts were the "8th" plague on Egypt.... you should be watching for "#7" brother...some nasty stuff falling from the sky....remember the dreams and visions of MISSLES, TORNADOES, TIDAL WAVES....and a huge rock called WORMWOOD...#9 is THE DARKNESS... ands #10 is THE KILLING OF THE FIRSTBORN...
nothing to look forward to BRO...yet i hear stuff all the time that makes me wonder....ISAIAH 5:18-19.

Another Milestone...On the Road to.... Part Three
Dec. 3, 2004

A number of years ago i had an excellent vision of a steer being torn apart....literally before my eyes. Since that time when things occur in the natural world people would ask "where are we...". When dealing with spiritual imagery there are rare occurrences in the physical realm that validate what we are shown in the SPIRIT. Yesterday we came close, but the "markets" pulled back. But at the close today Silver closed above $8.00/once. Here are the #'s for today's closing as supplied by the TULVING COMPANY. This is not an advertisement....just that on the WWW there are companies giving information out freely. Closing Bullion Prices For Friday, December 3, 2004 Change From Previous Day Gold $455.50 +5.00 Silver $8.01 +.09 Platinum $875.00 -9.00 Palladium $205.00 -2.00
Gold increased $5.00....more than 1%.... Silver increased 9 cents....also more than 1%.... at the same time "THE MARKETS" are "on the RISE".... what is plummeting is the VALUE OF THE DOLLAR.
Back in 2000 Gold was down to $230. For almost 10 years Silver stayed below $5....usually well below. In the last 12 months Silver passed $5 and climbed to now $8. In the last 6 months Gold has increased almost $100. We all know crude oil is staying around $47 a barrel.
Am i saying to go out and buy OIL, GOLD, or SILVER.... NO, what i am saying is we have reached a MILESTONE.
James 5 1 Go to now, ye rich men, weep and howl for your miseries that shall come upon you. 2 Your riches are corrupted, and your garments are moth-eaten. 3 Your gold and silver is cankered; and the rust of them shall be a witness against you, and shall eat your flesh as it were fire. Ye have heaped treasure together for the last days. 4 Behold, the hire of the labourers who have reaped down your fields, which is of you kept back by fraud, crieth: and the cries of them which have reaped are entered into the ears of the Lord of sabaoth. 5 Ye have lived in pleasure on the earth, and been wanton; ye have nourished your hearts, as in a day of slaughter. 6 Ye have condemned and killed the just; and he doth not resist you. 7 Be patient therefore, brethren, unto the coming of the Lord. Behold, the husbandman waiteth for the precious fruit of the earth, and hath long patience for it, until he receive the early and latter rain.
Actually all of JAMES 5 is applicable in the days and weeks ahead. Forget months and years children....TROUBLE is at the door....not stll far off as some wish.
I will share with you an astute section of prophetic scripture...most have taught that ALAS BABYLON is all about that ONE DAY....actually they miss a few important points....please study.... 4 And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues. 5 For her sins have reached unto heaven, and God hath remembered her iniquities. 6 Reward her even as she rewarded you, and double unto her double according to her works: in the cup which she hath filled fill to her double. 7 How much she hath glorified herself, and lived deliciously, so much torment and sorrow give her: for she saith in her heart, I sit a queen, and am no widow, and shall see no sorrow. 8 Therefore shall her plagues come in one day, death, and mourning, and famine; and she shall be utterly burned with fire: for strong is the Lord God who judgeth her. 9 And the kings of the earth, who have committed fornication and lived deliciously with her, shall bewail her, and lament for her, when they shall see the smoke of her burning, 10 Standing afar off for the fear of her torment, saying, Alas, alas that great city Babylon, that mighty city! for in one hour is thy judgment come. 11 And the merchants of the earth shall weep and mourn over her; for no man buyeth their merchandise any more: 12 The merchandise of gold, and silver, and precious stones, and of pearls, and fine linen, and purple, and silk, and scarlet, and all thyine wood, and all manner vessels of ivory, and all manner vessels of most precious wood, and of brass, and iron, and marble, 13 And cinnamon, and odours, and ointments, and frankincense, and wine, and oil, and fine flour, and wheat, and beasts, and sheep, and horses, and chariots, and slaves, and souls of men. 14 And the fruits that thy soul lusted after are departed from thee, and all things which were dainty and goodly are departed from thee, and thou shalt find them no more at all. 15 The merchants of these things, which were made rich by her, shall stand afar off for the fear of her torment, weeping and wailing, 16 And saying, Alas, alas that great city, that was clothed in fine linen, and purple, and scarlet, and decked with gold, and precious stones, and pearls! 17 For in one hour so great riches is come to nought. And every shipmaster, and all the company in ships, and sailors, and as many as trade by sea, stood afar off, 18 And cried when they saw the smoke of her burning, saying, What city is like unto this great city!
Verses 4-7 has been the call THE TRUE SERVANTS have been sounding over and over for years. Verse 8 SPEAKS of THE DAY...Historically the US of A has a number of DAYS....we remember...BLACK TUESDAY... DECEMBER 7th....and 9/11....actually Tuesday has had a few negative things about it. 1929....2001... As bad as we perceive BLACK TUESDAY Sept 11th 2001... 1929 was something else. It is remembered as Tuesday Oct 29th...but it started on Oct 21....that the market dropped...and on Oct 24 dropped again....and all the "king's horses" and all the "king's men" could not prevent Oct 29th. So there were really TWO BLACK TUESDAYS and a BLACK THURSDAY all in one week of time.
But you have to understand was that BLACK TUESDAY was merely the beginning of a downward spiral that did not hit bottom till JULY 1932....about 3 1/2 years.
Babylon had "plagues"....and she will burn a long, long time. Lots of people will witness it...be aware of it....but no where does it say that it will bring about a HUMUNGUS END TIME REVIVAL....too many people upset at loosing all that they had fought and killed for....true misery...just no repentance.
So we hit a bump in the road... things can only get better will be heard once things start. But people tend to want to hear LIES when the TRUTH HURTS.
