Every day I used to feed pigeons. For some reason, living in the middle of the city, being in contact with something that belongs to nature relaxes me. My husband calls me "the lady of the pigeons" like the one in the Home Alone movie, with the difference that they don't climb on me. 😂 During this quarantine I have not stopped giving them food, with the difference that I do it through the fence.
Today I decided to open the gate to give them food and suddenly, without realizing it, a dove arrived, who could hardly walk, looked at me and her gaze reflected anguish. She opened her beak, as if asking for help, apparently she was sick. Suddenly, like he lost his balance, collapsed in front of me falling to the ground. I was too scared, I did not understand at the time why I was so terrified to see that scene. Two other pigeons came, who were enjoying the food, and began to attack her while she lay on the ground without strength to defend herself. Me, feeling a horrible helplessness of not being able to help her, I only scared away the pigeons that were hurting her and closed the gate.
I entered the house, frightened by the scene without understanding why, and I fell on my knees crying. I didn't understand why the healthy pigeons were attacking the sick or injured sister dying, instead of covering her. Same, there are many of us in God's people, that when a brother falls instead of covering him, we hurt him even more.
But that was not the only thing that God wanted to teach me. I kept on praying and crying and God told me: "it is time to stay inside the ark". And I cried with immense pain because, the image of the dove dying without being able to help her represented all those who are dying because they do not want to enter the ark or were in the ark and they got tired of the enclosure or doing the same thing every day and left and I can not do anything . I was crying because God emphasized to me "stay in the ark and don't go out, death is outside waiting for you." Now I can understand why I was so impressed by the scene and why I frightened a lot. What I felt was a spiritual encounter with what is operating outside the ark right now.
You may wonder why I cried if my family and I are safe inside the ark. Have you imagined how painful it must have been for Noah to be inside the ark, safe with his family, listening to his friends, relatives, companions screaming for him to save them, crying out for an opportunity to enter the ark and not be able to do nothing, because the door had been closed by God? I was looking at the face of the pigeon through the gate, I knew that she was dying, but there was nothing I could do to save her, because I knew it was too late. I felt so helpless! I thought of Noah, he must have felt the same when he couldn't save anyone after the judgement began.
We are living in the end times, the judgment has begun and God is telling us to stay inside the ark, death is outside waiting for us to abandon everything.
This quarantine is a parallel to what is happening in the spiritual world. We are inside the ark being saved from death. She is outside waiting for all those who tired of doing the same thing every day. Waiting for those who want to experience new things and disobey the order and get out of the ark. When the time is up, the same will happen, the door will close and there will be no time for salvation. I pray that if you are not inside the ark, you will repent and enter so that you will be saved. And if you are already inside, I pray that you can endure and stay in during times that are coming.
