The Gate – Chapter 04

Has the revelation continued?
Has the mystery progressed to a more critical stage?
Have more harbingers now manifested on American soil?
Is America closer now than ever before to judgment?
Could this explain what has been happening in recent days?
And what lies in store for the future?
The Harbinger II will open up the mysteries of the Watchmen, the Half Moon, the Day of Tammuz, the Parchment in the Ruins, the Tree, the Inscription, the Image, the Eastern Gate, and much, much more. It will ultimately lead to mysteries concerning the future, which include the Window, the Island, the Other Mystery Ground, and the Prophecy.

Chapter four, the gate.
So you woke up and recorded the dream and what happened?
Nothing said Noriel, nothing for some time. And I had no idea what I was supposed to do.
If anything, the prophet didn’t leave me with any direction.
The only thing I had to go on was the seal, but I couldn’t glean anything from it that would point me to what was next.
And then, and then it came in the form of a dream.
I was standing in front of two colossal golden doors to the right and left of the doors were walls made of large sand colored stones.
The doors were closed and bolted shut.
I knew that I was standing on the outside of an ancient city and judging from the size of its doors and walls, a great city adorning the two golden doors were engraved images of what on the right side of the doors, he said a representation of hills, a land of hills and on the left, what appeared to be a giant torch above the flame of the torch was the sun.
A stylized image with rays that looked more like spikes than light separating the sun and the torch from the land of hills was a series of curved lines, waves that I took to represent water.
What do you think it meant? At the time? I had no idea.
I was staring up at the colossal image trying to make sense of it when I heard a voice.
So what do you make of it? Noriel?
I turned to my left and from where the voice was coming, it was the prophet, the same appearance, the same coat, everything was the same as in the first dream, except we were in an ancient setting.
I have no idea. I replied, I would think you could help me with that. It’s a gate.
The great cities of the ancient world were walled and within those walls were gates to allow their inhabitants and visitors to go in and out the gate was the city’s portal to the rest of the world.
The center of trade through which commerce and merchandise, port the place of markets of buying and selling and trading.
The gate was also a place of power where the elders sat, where decisions were made and cases judged.
The gate thus became the symbol of a city’s power or a kingdom’s greatness.
And so the gates were often adorned and embellished with the symbols and signs of power, wealth and greatness.
The gates of Nineveh, the gates of Babylon, the gate would become the embodiment of the city itself or the kingdom empire or civilization by which it stood.
It was just then that I heard a faint distant rumbling. What do you hear Noriel?
He asked a rumbling, listen more closely.
It’s the sound of hoofbeats, horses and chariots approaching hoofbeats said the prophet, the sound of an invading army, an enemy attack.
The moment he said that in an instant we were transported.
I was now standing with the prophet on top of the wall, on the Rampart by the gate. Look Noriel.
He said, pointing into the distance.
It was then that I saw the enemy, an ancient army with banners, horses, chariots, soldiers armed with spears, swords, bows and arrows, ladders, platforms, battering rams, siege works.
They’re coming to us. He said they’re coming to the gate.
The gate is the most vulnerable place in the wall. That’s why it was closed and bolted.
Yes, the attack will focus on the gate. The army drew near to the gate.
What followed was a barrage of flaming arrows, the hurling of boulders and the pounding of battering rams.
I began to fear for our safety. Don’t worry. Said the prophet, it can’t hurt you.
We’re only watching as the onslaught continued. The gate weakened.
And then with the final crashing of the battering rams gave way, the two colossal golden doors fell to the ground.
The army entered in, it was all over the city was lost.
I stood with a prophet gazing down at what had once been the great gate of the ancient city but was now nothing more than wreckage and smoking ruins.
What do you think it all means Noriel? It has to do with judgment.
When judgment came to the nation of Israel, it would most often involve the attack of an enemy and it would begin with the enemy coming to the gate.
Yes, for the enemy to appear at the gate meant that the judgment was beginning.
And so Moses warned the nation of what would happen if it turned away from God, they shall besiege you at all your gates.
The days of judgment would begin when the enemy came to the gate, your enemy shall distress you at all your gates.
So in the days of judgment, the enemy would cause distress at the nation’s gate through the prophet Ezekiel, the Lord said this, I have set the point of the sword against all their gates.
And so the gate would become the focal point of the sword of violence.
And after the judgment had fallen on the city of Jerusalem, it would be written. All her gates are desolate.
Her gates have sunk into the ground. So the destruction at the gate will embody the nation’s judgment.
Judgment begins at the gate. A nation’s judgment begins at the nation’s gate.
You have to be showing me this because it has something to do with America.
But America doesn’t have a wall or gate. Are you sure? He asked? Yes, but it does.
The moment he said those words, everything changed.
I found myself standing on top of a ledge, on a building high above ground level, looking out at a vast city around which was a body of water, a river and a bay.
I don’t know why I didn’t recognize it immediately. You’re wrong about America.
He said it may not have walled cities, but it certainly has a gate. What do you mean this?
He replied, pointing to the landscape that surrounded us. This is the gate. I don’t see any gate.
You were looking for a walled city. They don’t build them anymore, but gates still exist.
This Norio is the gate of America. I still don’t see it.
This city, this river, this bay, this passageway, I’m not getting it.
The island of Manhattan, the Hudson river, the New York harbor.
New York City is the gate of America, the portal of American civilization.
Do you see the land on the other side? Yes. Do you know what it’s called?
It’s called the gateway as the gate was to the ancient city. So New York City is to America.
What was it that took place at the ancient gate? People went in and out.
And so it is that through this gate, more than any other, the multitudes have come to America.
Look over there. He said, pointing to his left.
That’s Ellis Island, the gate through which millions of immigrants passed to enter this land.
It was even known as the gate of America.
What happened at the Ancient Gate trade, I answered merchandise and commodities buying and selling the marketplace.
And so this gate has been the center of American trade and within it has resided the central markets, the focal point of the nation’s buying and selling.
And what else was the Ancient Gate? The embodiment of power, wealth and greatness.
And so too does this gate New York City stand as the embodiment of the power, wealth and greatness of American civilization.
The image on the golden dorse. It was this, yes, the land of hills that was Manhattan.
That’s what it originally was an island of hills and the water was the Hudson river and the sun and the torch on the other side of the water.
Look over there Noriel to the left of Ellis Island.
What do you see the Statue of Liberty, the torch of course, and the sun with the radiating spikes, the crown.
Yes, he said, and the statue was patterned after the ancient Colossus of Rhodes, Helios, the Greek Sun God, the words of the poem on the statue’s pedestal.
I lift my lamp beside the golden door. Yes, the doorway, the gate to America.
So the golden doors in the gate of the ancient city, it was all pointing to this and to the mystery said the prophet, the mystery of judgment, judgment begins at the gate.
Therefore, it had to be this way. What do you mean? The judgment had to begin at the gate?
What does that mean? And it was then that it hit me 9 11, I said it began here.
It had to begin in New York City.
And what did the beginning of Israel’s judgment involve the appearance of its enemies at the gate?
So the days of judgment begin when the enemy appears at the gate and what happened on 9 11, the nation’s enemy appeared at America’s gate.
The terrorists came from across the world from the Middle East to manifest themselves in New York City, the enemy at the gate, the sign of judgment and they did more than appear, remember the scripture, they shall besiege you at all your gates.
So on 9 11, they struck the gate of America, your enemy shall distress you at all your gates.
And so on 9 11, distress came upon America from the calamity that began at its gate and it was not only that they struck America in New York City, but where specifically did the strike take place in lower Manhattan?
I replied, which is the part of the city that most exactly constitutes the nation’s gate.
And more exactly where at the edge of lower Manhattan, the edge that overlooks the river.
The gateway, the attack began as the first plane crossed the river, the gateway to its target.
The second plane then flew up the New York harbor, the gateway itself.
So the calamity not only took place at the Nation’s Gate, but at the very specific entrance of that gate at the gate of the gate of the Nation, I remember seeing pictures of the Statue of Liberty on that day overlooking the cloud of destruction at ground zero.
Yes. Said the prophet at the golden door, the gate of the gate, her gates shall lament and mourn.
And so as in the days of Israel’s judgment, the gates became a place of mourning and lamentation.
So what is the warning of the gate? I don’t know the gate is the entrance point.
The portal through which judgment begins, remember the biblical pattern first comes the strike, the warning and then a window of time.
What happens at the gate represents the beginning. What happened on September 11th 2001 was the beginning.
The entrance point of judgment. If the nation doesn’t turn back, then, what began that day moves inexorably to its conclusion.
It was as he said, those words that the dream came to an end.
It’s a lot to take in. Said Anna. Yes. And it was only the beginning.
So when was the next revelation? They came on their own timing.
He replied, the next one came a week later, it would take up where this one had left off and would be even more specific.
How did it begin with an image from my childhood?
