let me pray Lord thank you for this day I pray for our online campus and for our people that are in here I pray an incredible new blessing a new blessing a new anointing for a new day in Jesus name amen um I have an interesting message today I I don't know if it's as much a preach as it is more more like a fatherly talk and we were in school of ministry meeting I think there was I don't know 70 80 of us in the school Ministry meeting um and we we we were just
praying and Dan was leading the prayer time and we began to uh prophesy and um and and people were prophesying things and I I had an experience at at Oxford University I've been gone for a couple weeks I was I was five six days in in um England and I spent five four days at Oxford and uh and I had an experience there I want to tell you about in a few minutes and um but when we were in this in our prayer meeting well actually it wasn't a prayer meeting it was actually a staff
meeting turned into a prayer meeting people began to prophesy things that were happening to me when I was at Oxford and I was like oh my gosh this is the Lord and so um I asked Haley because Haley Haley was probably one of four or five but uh asked Haley if she could come up and share her eight-year-old son had a profound dream in line with what we've been feeling and uh and then Haley had some Revelation on that dream so would you just share share that with us good morning everybody it's good to be
with you so um it feels like kind of uh something that's kind of been pieced together over probably the last couple months but specifically the last few weeks I was driving my son to school uh first week of schoolish and I asked him as any mom would how did you sleep last night and he was like bad and I'm like bad why do you sleep bad and he was like I had these crazy dreams and they were waking me up and so I was I I started asking him what the dream was about and into
the dream I began to realize God was speaking to him and so he had this dream where he uh went into a store with his dad uh and it looked like Hobby Lobby and Target mixed together which is a conundra Min of itself uh and uh there were different bins there were bins with computer games bins with stuffed toys and then there was a wall of cards and um he said some of the things were free and some of them you had to pay for and his dad said to him hey bird mom's asked me
to go buy some birthday cards so why don't you go pick out a game but make sure it's not free this was the point where I was like God must be speaking to my son because no parent tells you to pick out the game that's not free and uh so I stopped him I said are you sure he said no it couldn't he said it had to cost us something and so uh I he continued with the dream he went over to a bin and pulled out a game and on the front he said it
said Chase he said not like the PAW Patrol character like the bank do you know the bank Chase Bank mom I was like I do know the bank Chase Bank we go to it he's like okay so it was Chase bank and then the game was a mystery game and when I went to go play it I went in and I was trying to solve Mysteries it was like it was really dark and really intense so intense that I started thrashing around my bed and from thrashing around I woke up and uh he actually ended
up going back to sleep and he went back into the dream and he realized playing the chase game that uh that it was about to expire on August 15th and he said he knew it was August 15th and he was playing it and he need to play fast because it was about to expire well at 1:00 a.m. on August 15th in his dream the game expired he returned it to the bin and he went to pick out another game and now he picked out the game called dreams and he said in this game called dreams
he was called a dream crafter like a combination of Mindcraft and Lego I don't know but he uh he said I was a dream crafter and I was whatever I built and took to bed became the reality that I lived in and he said that the the store was no longer Target Hobby Lobby now he said it was our home but he said it was like bethl church and he said it was wood on the outside and metal on the inside and um while he's sharing with this with me it's like I'm just getting a
download from the Lord and he said to me Haley you have as a house and even as a community that you've been in a season of mystery that has cost you something and has been a season of radical investment into mystery and into the unknown um and he the Lord reminded me on August 11th and August 15th this is so bizarre but I climbed into my car and it smelled so strongly of pineapples I was like hunting around my car trying to find it like one of my kids drop a sweet like a candy or
a juice or something and there was nothing in my car so I texted Ben Armstrong who's the dream interpreter I was like what does pineapples mean and it's all about glory and authority and vacation and dreaming um an and on August 13th Dave Ward had called me and said Haley I have a word for you it's a word for bethl but it's a word for you and was Psalm 126 and Psalm 126 says that when the the Lord restored the captives from Zion restored their Fortune they were like those who dreamed now captives don't dream
captives hold tight what they because they've lost much but these captives they dreamed their miles were filled with laugh and joyful shouting and it ends with those who SED in tears will come back with sheaves of wheat with shouts of joy and uh Bill Johnson prophesied in uh May or was it maybe April when Aus K was hit by an by a car he said that Aus will not die he will live and be a sign of Zechariah 1 that that which the enemy had raised up against Israel the Lord would raise up artists uh
who would who would raise up a horn a standard against the enemy and what I felt was I feel like for us as a church that the season has shifted the season has shifted that we are stepping out of a season of mystery of sewing in tears and that the Lord is inviting us to actually close the chapter and to not even find comfort in those places that we that we found comfort in but to actually recognize that we will be like those who dreamed and I believe the Lord is restoring Innovation he's restoring Builders
he's restoring creatives I believe we're all creative and the Lord is wanting to pour out his Spirit the oil of gladness upon us that we will dream again with the Lord and in his rest we'll see it come to pass amen yeah why don't you just stand real quick we're going to grab a hold of this by faith it says in the word of God that faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of God the Rama word and so I just feel like today even if that doesn't feel true that by faith we're
grabbing a hold of this and saying this is the word of God so Holy Spirit right now we thank you Father that you are bringing a season shift we thank you Lord that you are declaring this and that we aren't grabbing a hold of this in desire but we are grabbing a hold of it because you have spoken and Lord I thank you I thank you that you have you are have every intention to restore the fortunes you have every intention to restore that what that which has been lost and God I pray that you
would pour out your oil your oil of gladness on every household on every uh individual on every business on every call on every dream and Lord I pray for a Grace to step out of a season of mystery and into the mysteries of the Kingdom God to step outside of that which has been troubling and into the invitation to dream again Holy Spirit we thank you that it is not by might nor by power but by the empowerment of your breath God and so we receive this today we grab a hold of it the violent
grab the kingdom by force we grab a hold of it as HS as sons and daughters who say that our portion is the glory of God to reflect and reveal it to the world and we say yes to this and amen in the name of Jesus Amen you can be seated I I want to open with this passage Psalms 1226 that Haley was uh actually sharing uh verse one when the Lord brought back the captives of Zion they were like those who dream then our mouth was filled with laughter and our tongue with joyful shouting
why don't we just do a joyful shout on three ready 1 2 [Applause] 3 that's good right there it's good I have to tell you Twin View beat you though it was pretty they went nuts and got up on their chairs and it's okay we're not going to keep doing that though then they said among the Nations the Lord has done great things for them the Lord has done great things for us and we are joyful restore our fortunes Lord as the streams in the South I take that we're building a big building restore the
fortunes okay anyway those who sew in tears shall Harvest with joyful shouting the one who goes here and there weeping carrying his bag of seed shall indeed come again with a shout of Joy bringing his sheep with him that's just an awesome word I want to talk about it's about it's time to dream and um I I've had several encounters that some of them I've shared with you and I've had uh some some new ones that that kind of go along with where we're going but before we get there I want to just talk for
a few minutes about closing the door of the old season as a matter of fact I actually believe that the Lord has closed the door to a past season and he's opened the door to another season to a new season in Philippians chapter 3 Paul writes this verse 13 Brethren I don't regard myself as having laid hold of it yet but one thing I do forgetting what lies behind and Reaching Forward to what lies head I press on towards the goal of the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus now I I
want you to know that this was written by the Apostle Paul when he says forgetting what lies behind he's not talking about a bad week with the children he's not talking about you might I had a flat tire on the way to work this man was responsible for hundreds and maybe thousands of deaths of Christians you have to imagine that he is shepherding ing congregations that are missing men that are missing husbands that are missing sons that are missing mothers he is shepher in congregations that has that he has specifically had such a negative impact
on that literally there are people missing in the congregation because of his former life and this man says forgetting what lies behind and I I feel so strongly that the Lord wants that the Lord has closed the door and I and in in the first service we were praying and I saw us knocking on the door God closed and it said shame and I I want to say that shame has no part in our lives like shame listen everybody has failed every there's nobody in here that has 100% success rate and I want to tell
you that I think it's Revelation 13 that says that the Accuser other Brethren accuses us day and night and I feel like before we talk about dreaming we have to talk about the fact that God has close the door that that door is illegal to open now you might have to clean up a mess you know you might you might have to bring closure I'm not talking about being irresponsible you might have to go say you're sorry you might have to go repent of something I get that you know but I'm not but but I
do want us to move away from the failure of the past and begin to live future present instead of past present Jesus M made a strong statement in Luke Chapter 9:62 he said no one after putting his hand to the plow and looking back is fit for the kingdom of God let me read it again no one after putting his hand to the plow and looking back is fit for the kingdom of God how many know we're to plow with passion we're to plow with pass passion you can imagine Jesus is saying listen if you
if you take a hold the plow and you look back you're an unfit person for the kingdom I I'm not trying to shame anybody I'm just saying that the Lord has spoken to us and said leave the door I close closed do not agree with shame and open the door you know if I allow shame if I do something wrong I had interaction with some some brothers and in the last month who I have failed and we had an interaction and I'm like okay I can't go back and fix that all I can do is
ask for forgiveness and once that doors closed if I keep looking back I can't actually do what I'm called to do so good because I'm dragging along shame with me and the people who actually lose the most aren't me they're the people that I'm supposed to have an impact on are you with with me like I am not doing anybody a favor like maybe I need to feel bad about this for about four or five more months so I can let my friend know I really am serious I'm like no no no that door is
closed I've been forgiven we've been forgiven we need to move on are you with me good word Chris the Lord has given all of us talents now I know you should know this but the word talent in Matthew 25 the word talent is actually sum of money so and I understand that Jesus is talking about hiding talents he's actually talking about in this parable about hiding money but how many you know it's more than money TR that wasn't very good how many you know it's not just about money how many know that Jesus is telling
a parable about money but it's a metaphor for so many things in our life but it is about money too because the parable is about money no I'm waiting for you to get better no that's okay I'm being a little funny I'm pointing out that the Lord has given all of us let's just use the English word talents and what we mean by talents the Lord has given each of us a talent he's given each of us something to invest in the Kingdom he's given us each something to invest in other people now you may
be the person who has one Talent you may be the person who has 10 talents and if you're a one Talent person I know the competition is pretty strong you're like I don't feel very talented John like Haley Haley was in my office this last week I'm an embarrass her um Haley's like a 10 Talent person she can sing she can dance she can act she plays like three instruments she can preach she can mother she can lead and I'm like I I just feel intimidated around her I'm like a one Talent or two Talent
person and I do a lot with one of two talents but I have a lot of them like we we went bowling last week with my grandkids I bowled a 42 yeah oh yeah well they they put they put bumpers up and I bowled an 87 and I had six of my grandkids with me who all obviously very much outb me they were so embarrassed that they just let my grandkids were so embarrassed they were just like when when a ball went down and hit a pen they're like look you did it like I'm eight
like whoa Papa hit a pen but the point is you you might be a one Talent person but the goal is to not bury that thing and when you bury it I don't know I'll I'll just tell you the end of that story you know guy buries the talent Jesus rebukes the guy for burying the talent gives the talent which is in this case money gives the money to the guy who has the most and I asked the Lord some years ago Lord does it mean the rich get richer he said no the faithful get
more fruitful but here's the deal that when what if you what you've been given if you plant it it will grow but if you bury your abilities not only will they die but you will too I'm pointing out that when this man when this man buried his talent not only did he lose the use of the money not only did the money not bless anybody not only did the money not have an impact it was designed to have but he actually was taken and off to weeping and nashing of teeth and I'm pointing out that
when we don't use our talent to bless other people it doesn't just cost them it costs us too I'm not talking about weeping an Nash teeth you're going to go to hell if you don't use your talent I I'm not saying that Jesus said that I'm saying it's right there in the Bible I don't know what to say oh I I'm not going to recover from that I'm just going to go on I'm just pointing out that when that you have been that you all of us everybody there was nobody born with no talents there's
nobody that's born with no ability there's nobody that's born with nothing they can do to actually help other people in life there's nobody like that no human like that and when I use what I have maybe I'm the one Talent guy and I look over at the 10 Talent person and I'm like uh I'm I'm embarrassed that I have so little listen I can get to the 10 if I will use the one if I will give myself to what I'm called to give are you with me so we have have to lose this encumbrance
you know Romans uh Hebrews 12 says leaving our this the the sin and the encumbrances that so easily entangle us I'm not talking about the sin today I'm talking about the encumbrances things that we carry around that feel holy but they keep us from being effective are you with me that thing that everyone's forgiven me for but I still dragging around that thing that happened to me that wasn't my fault I grew up in a pretty tough home had some things that I love to keep behind that door not the door of denial the door
of Eternity that is gone Chris don't let your past affect your future it's over don't go back and visit it don't open the door of pain it's not going to help you and I believe fact I feel the prayer right this minute I believe that some of us are knocking on a door that the Lord closed and you're like I need to get I need to get there so I know there's some counseling and all this stuff and if the Lord know takes you different direction fine but I feel strongly that some of us are
trying to get closure for things that God closed years ago and Lord I pray right now I release people from shame the shame of if you really were serious you'd still feel bad about it and that is just junk and I just release you to repentance a new way of thinking that the door that the Lord closed in your life and in my life will remain closed the rest of my life into eternity and the door that's opened before me is the door that you want me to go through and there's a whole new way
of living in that zore amen thank you um so I went to Oxford and I does anybody know Rachel Milano she had a incredible beautiful wedding which many years ago I said well when you get married I'll I'll give you away so she wrote me a few months ago said I'm getting married come give me away I'm like good you having a wedding here and she's like no it's in the UK like oh that's really giving you away so a beautiful wedding in this beautiful cathedral that I have have you guys ever been to Cathedral
in the you know like in Europe England they're just incredibly beautiful I think this one took like 300 years to build or something like that some crazy thing and uh and then we went to a castle for the reception and uh yeah I was feeling very kingly I was like I slept at the Castle I was like I was feeling so good about myself until my castle door wouldn't open it literally wouldn't and it couldn't get get it open for hours and finally they drilled it out I'm like Lord this isn't a prophetic thing like
I'm locked out a kingship or something is it cuz I was really feeling like bad about that but it was it it was really awesome I'll tell you a little bit more about that in in a little bit but we went to Oxford which Oxford is a city and a university it's actually one it's uh Oxford University is made up of 32 universities Al together and it was uh it was it's 927 years old the second the oldest university in the world and it's uh its motto is the Lord is my light and and Oxford
had many many powerful things that happened one of the things is char Charles Wesley's Methodist movement came out of Oxford in 1720 and so we're walking around Oxford and um you can if you haven't been there you might just Google it see the some of the buildings so you can kind of get the effect it's these incredible beautiful buildings that literally Oxford took hundreds of years years to build and I'm walking around and Simon is my Simon is the guy that's uh given me the tour and Simon is a scientist who's leading the space program
and has a contract with NASA at Oxford s and Simon has been here five times he loves this place because he gets Revelation when he's here and he started a supernatural school on Oxford campus so so I'm with Simon who has like if you met him you would think oh this guy's a scientist until you sit with him and he's brilliant but he's happy I guess that's okay to be both I don't I don't know I don't know why I said that and Simon is taking us on a tour of Oxford which is you know
it's a couple days and and he set up some meetings with me which I'll tell you about in just a few minutes but as we're walking uh around Oxford campus uh where Simon works and you know it's like you you know we're walking blocks and blocks probably walk you know three four five miles and he's talking about the different things that happen at Oxford and while he is I just keep breaking out crying and like I don't know why we sit down at at lunch at in at on the Oxford campus and I'm I just
start crying he's like are you are you okay I'm like I think so have you ever had an experience where your head doesn't know what's going on but your heart totally does I'm like I thought I was having manopause or really bad jet lag like like literally we just walk along and I just break out in tears and he's like are you okay I'm like I don't I actually don't know what's happening to me something's happening to me and I and I kept having these experiences where I I I honestly could not put my I
I I know I'm being a little funny but I I'm a little dramatic but I literally could not figure out why I was crying like it wasn't like I saw something it was moving and I'm like oh yeah it wasn't like that I just was maybe feeling the presence of God and we were we're walking this I think was the second day we're walking down uh like these are all Cobblestone roads with beautiful uh Stone buildings beautiful stone buildings and and we're walking along the road and I I have this Vision now it wasn't open
Vision it was but it was very Vivid in my mind and I turned to Simon and I said this is bethl 200 years from now he said what I said this is bethl 200 years from now and he's like wow I said I there's something on bethl that's on Oxford like I understand that Oxford is you know become very humanistic and needs a Revival I understand that but there's something in the ground that is something is resonating with my spirit in the ground like there's something about what's in Oxford ground that's in me that somehow
my spirit is synergizing with what's in the ground and I it's like it I I didn't even share this in first it's like there's something familiar it's like calling out to me like this there's a there's a family connection if you know what I mean that's great cuz I don't I am articulating something that was happening that I am just putting words to and I began to dream and I'm like wow 200 years from now and the first thing I started thinking about is I I I wrote I I wrote some notes these are just
they're they're not written for a book I was just writing them as I was getting them so they're they're rough okay so you know they probably need lots of edit but I wrote this I want to read you the raw notes like as I was walking I was like getting this and I wrote I realized to today that when the religious world was asking what tribulation you believe in pre-trip post-trip or mid-trip I'll explain that for the younger people that probably had no idea what trip they're in Bill Johnson was asking the question how much
of Heaven Can we have on earth now for the the old for the younger generation let me just it would be normal for you not to understand what I just said in the Jesus movement and probably earlier the question that every Christian was asking was do you believe the Rapture is going to happen before the tribulation in the middle of the tribulation or after the tribulation so you actually would identify with people like they actually argue and split over it and when you went to a prophetic conference you didn't go to a conference where they
taught you how to hear the voice of the father you went to a conference where there was charts and different speakers got up and posed their reason why the Rapture would be at the beginning of the tribulation and the Beast would be here and I I actually got a tape series and one of the tapes tapes the cassette tapes it was a you know what a cassette tape one of the cassette tapes was this the was the title how to keep your children from from taking the mark of the beast so when I met I
met Kathy and I met Bill and Benny four years after we were saved so you know I'm like okay so I meet Bill and we're trying to get you know I'm get to know each other well I don't know Bill's trying to get know me I'm trying to get to know him and I remember asking Bill like are you are we like are we you our leader are we like a pre-trib rap or a mid-trip rap and a post-trip rap and Bill's like I don't know I just want to know how much of heaven we
can have on Earth and I'm like not not on that not on the multiple choice identity questions I I I mean bill I mean there was probably lots of other people but Bill was the only leader I knew knew that wasn't trying to answer that question like it didn't trouble him that he didn't know the answer to that question he was like I just I don't know I I don't I don't I never heard Bill do one message on the Beast to this day I'm still waiting for him to tell me who the Beast is
and and I wrote this uh while I was walking Bill inspired insights into Legacy hope for future Generations honor which is the highway to prosperity and prophetic vision and I began to realize at Oxford that there were people that started Oxford Oxford that were asking different questions than other people were asking there metaphorically people were like when's the tribulation what's going to happen with the Beast and these people weren't answering those questions they're answering questions that heaven was asking and being pulled in their early days being pulled into another another direction are you with me
and I I want to point out that when you build buildings that take 300 years to build you have a very different way of thinking than a Jesus people movement person let me let me say it differently because that sounded rude what you how you behave how you view God how you view yourself and what you build out of that has everything to do with the core values of the way you see life if you build a building that takes 300 years to build and they have buildings that take longer than that and I'm not
talking about like they built the building then then Joe added on to it then Henry got it in charge and he added two more bedrooms I'm talking about the architect drew a building that took 300 years to build and probably cost 10 times no a 100 times more than that local congregation was ever going to raise in their generation wow and people ask us are you going to finish the building next week I don't know the people built buildings for 300 years that cost a h hundred times more than they could ever afford and they
actually believed that God was in this project that they that are you with me not decades centuries later they would finish it listen what kind of theology do you have to have to believe that you should build something that you're not even freaking going to finish for 300 years and you start this project that the people who are with you could never afford it but the generations to come will finish it are you with me I'm pointing out that you have to think differently than when is the Beast coming and are you pre-trib or postt
and we build ugly buildings I'm not talking about we like like y'all or like y'all I'm talking about we have a different core value in protestantism we brag about the fact that we didn't spend extra we got now you know the church isn't a building church is people of God well that's true that's absolutely true but when you go into a cathedral like Rachel's wedding and it's got a steeple that's hundreds of feet high I me you walk in there and I understand like people would say well the spirit's gone I get that but there's
something about the people who built this that they had a revelation of the Majesty of God they had a revelation of the Majesty of God because they built something that reflected their values of the time and yes maybe I let's say they didn't have a full revelation of God I'm not sure we do either right but they built according to the Revelation they had and they were trying to express the fact without you know without amplification without all the things that we have in these days you know Powerpoints and all that they were trying to
express when you walk in there that God is amazing and they're trying to build a building that would say we love a God Who is majestic are you with me okay maybe I'll lose you in a minute but and I I'm pointing out something I'm pointing out I'm pointing out that we need to hold on to things old and build new about um a few days ago I woke up at 3:00 in the morning and I was thinking about about the impact that Oxford had on me sorry the impact that Oxford had on me I
was just thinking about you know just really trying to find like thinking for what was going on in here still I still am like what was that and why did that happen and how does it relate to us and I and I I I I said well I wonder I I started looking up the some of our universities Harvard Harvard was built in uh 1636 386 s years ago it its model was truth and Harvard was named after its benefactor the Puritan clergyman John Harvard it's the oldest in institution of Higher Learning in the United
States its influence wealth and ranking have made it one of the most prestigious universities in the world it in the in its early years Harvard primarily trained congregational clergy Harvard was founded to train pastors its Motel is truth get this Yale was founded 321 years ago its motto is light and Truth Yale is the third oldest college in the United States it started as a congregationalist college at first it was restricted to instructing ministers in Theology and the sacred languages are you with me Yale was started to train theologians Pastors in Theology and the sacred
languages its modotto is light and Truth Princeton Princeton's model is under God's power she flourishes it was founded in 1746 276 years ago Princeton University was founded as the College of New Jersey it was first called the College of New Jersey and was shaped and shaped much of its formative years by The Log College a seminary founded by Reverend William Tennant in Pennsylvania in 1726 the four founders of Princeton University devised a plan to establish a new College listen this for they were disappointed with Harvard and Yale's opposition to the Great Awakening Princeton was founded
because people had pulled away from the from the other universities have pulled away from the Great Awakening and Princeton was founded to establish ministers in the Great Awakening that was its purpose and remember its motto was under God's power she flourishes and my point do you know that we just established a college our team up front it it's just a man's fist a cloud the size of man's fist basically have four Co three cohorts right now we're super excited about it but we just just had the creditors back this last week and they gave us
the highest creditation Mark they've ever given a college super proud of our team and I I I began to think about the fact that we know we've been preaching the old gym for two years three years getting back to the old gym and I believe you know Jesus uh I pointed out this U let me see if I can find the scripture I mean I can find scripture but that scripture what I'm looking for Jesus said stall sorry Jesus talked about the fact that we are to bring about things that are old hold on to
things that are old here it is Matthew 13:52 Jesus said therefore every scribe who's become a disciple of the Kingdom of Heaven is like the head of a household who brings out his treasure things old and things new I I believe that the Lord is calling us to go back to the old gym and to make sure that we establish things Old Harvard Yale Princeton Oxford all started in Revival all started by revivalists and yet they have become some of the most humanistic institutions in the world what would happened to Princeton if they would have
kept the Great Awakening awake what kind of education would come out of Princeton out of Oxford out of Harvard you get the idea if they would have kept the center thing the center thing and I believe that God is asking us to hold on the things old in fact I believe that for three years the Lord's been telling us go back and get things old go back and get things old right go did I make sense in that s go back and get get the things that are old get them right again get Unleashed get
out of performance mode get out of get out of I'm gonna get out of domestication mode get out of I'm gonna look bad mode Lord's like you had nothing behave like that I I told you this but a few a month or two ago I was on a we were doing a thing for the school of prophets I think and uh we were asking the question was what would your old what would your what would your old man tell your your young man what would your what would your presentant man tell your young man and
the Lord said to me you're not answering that question I want you to answer the question what would your young man tell your old man and I'm sitting there and I start crying I'm like I don't want to tell my young man something my young man needs to tell my old man take a risk there you got what do you got to lose cross the chicken line line I could say some more things but we're streaming that's what my young man would say I got to tell you this last thing that happened we were in
a prayer meeting um a couple weeks ago a Thursday morning prayer meeting by the way you're welcome to come we don't make a big deal out of it because we just pray for government people and we pray for governments and people Thursday morning it's like an hour and a half so we're in that meeting praying uh and uh and I and I was uh you know a bunch of people were praying about look we always pray about about government about our city uh just praying for you know what what God's doing and um all of
a sudden I had a vision it wasn't an open Vision but it was very Vivid did I tell you this yet I preached so much times same message and it was a vision you know how Reno has like this Arch over it I think it's Reno and it says Reno the smallest biggest city in the world or something like that well I saw an arch like that but it was over over reading and it said reading and then under it said it's the glory of God to hide a matter and it's the Glory of Kings
